At the Council of Clermont, in France, when which over a hundred christians gathered, Urban delivered a speech crying out to all christians, rich and poor, to enter on a war to help take back their holy land none as jerusalem.
Urban lied and told exaggerating stories about the muslims and 1 of those exaggerating stories said that the muslims where doing anti-christian acts. Urban promised that their will be absolution and forgiveness for all who died in theirservice.
Urban’s war did not go as expected it ended up mobilizing clerics to drum up support throughout Europe for the crusade against the Muslims. As estimated between the number 60,000 and 100,000 people responded to Urban’s call to march on Jerusalem.
Urban died in 1099, two weeks after the fall of Jerusalem but before news of the Christian victory made it back to Europe
