The Christians wanted to take back their holy land. They military campaigns against the Muslims were called the Crusades. wave after wave of peasants,soldiers,and kings would travel for this.
We should take back our holy land.
I will talk to the pope.
The pope at that time was Pope Urban ll. From the attacks of the Turks the people called for the Pope's help. He finally agreed to do so.
Please help us.
I am calling for a crusade.
The first crusade went really well for the Christians. They had captured Jerusalem. They had also established four crusader states in the Holy Land. The crusaders also turned back the Turks' advance on Constantinople.
The pope had called for a second crusade. The kings that were present were King Louis VII, The German Emperor,and King Louis wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. Despite the powerful backup it didn't prove successful to them. They kept of arguing and treated Muslim Majority of Palestine with disrespect and even cruelty.
The fall of Jerusalem provoked the third crusade. It was called the Crusade of Kings It had Richard I. It also hand the kings of France and Germany. Saladin and Richard signed a truce that ended the third crusade.
Please, just give the holy land up.
How about a truce,eh?
All the crusades were unorganized by the peasants. They should have made military efforts. They even made an effort again going to the holy land. They did this by doing the children's crusade. None of them got into the holy land.
