Byzantines During The Crusades

The beginning of this Crusade was marked by the capture of Jerusalem by Saladin. He was a proponent leader that led with his hatred of people that were considered unbelievers, but he also had kindness and some would even say compassion towards some people. He was born in 1138 and died in 1193 at the age of 55. After Saladin had captured The Holy Land in 1187 the Christians once again made it their mission to recapture it. The Christians of the West did once again fail to retake the city of Jerusalem; their main goal in this whole endeavour. They were however able to capture the city of Jaffa and the city of Acre. What happened next was very interesting, after realizing that they wouldn’t be able to capture Jerusalem Richard “The Lion Heart” and Saladin signed a peace treaty of sorts, it was called the Treaty of Ramla. The peace treaty stated that Jerusalem would remain under the control of the Muslims but Christian visitors, pilgrims, merchants, etc were allowed to visit so long as they were

First to Sixth Crusades. The First Crusade started on November 27, 1095. This was the Crusaders’ first attempt to reclaim the Holy Land from the Muslims. The very first attack on the Muslims was fought by a less organized army which

Pope Urban II was the one who declared the crusade. “In a speech at Clermont in France in November 1095, called for a

The children’s Crusade occurred in 1212. A boy named Stephen of Cloyes had a vision that he thought was a message from God and his belief was that only kids were innocent enough to be able to capture the holy city. not long after thousands of children from France and Germany met to try and reach Palestine.Thousands of children died from hunger,freezing,disease and accidents before they even reached the Mediterranean sea.When they got to the sea they realised there was no way to get to Jerusalem. The children who survived went back home in disappointment.

Between 1095 and 1291, Christian kings and knights from all over Europe participated in a series of Crusades in the Middle East. They went to fight Muslims for control of places that Christians consider to be

Well, the Children’s Crusade is one of the “unexpected” and “tragic” situation that happened in very old time in the history of England. None of the children accomplished to get to the Holy Land, some have been sold into slavery, and half or more of them never came back at all. In this time, the children would tried to get to the Holy Land and take Jerusalem for the Christians, because by doing this, they believed they would be protected by God. This all began in the year 1212, when seven important Crusades were pushed forward by Christians in Europe against Muslims that were in control and in charge of the Holy Land; huge numbers of young people declared, and set out from northern France and western Germany to take control of again in Jerusalem from the Muslims. Many thousands of young peoples, in the ages from approximately six years-old to maturity ages, left on whatever else they were doing, to join the journey of the children’s crusade.

In the year 1095 to the late 13th century a western European religions group fought multiple wars in an effort to capture what they called “holy land” from the Muslims. This holy war, called the crusades, was to recapture or reclaim holy power. This group of westerners were originally pilgrims who only sought religious freedom but was forced to undertake military type action while protecting their Christian religion. Over the course of 200 years there were a series of Crusades that took place. The first crusade was started by Pope Urban II in 1095 and the last crusade was in Acre which was led by Henry III.

The crusades were military expeditions led by European Christians to regain the Holy Land from the Muslims or ‘infidels’, these crusades were also called Holy Wars. The reason the crusades began was the emperor of the Byzantine empire Alexius Ⅰ sought for the help of the Europeans to fight against the Seljuk Turks who were slowly moving closer to their capital city Constantinople. Pope Urban Ⅱ quickly saw this as an opportunity to rally the European Christians to fight against the infidels to liberate Jerusalem and the Holy Land. On November 27, 1095 the Pope makes what some believes the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, he promised “All who die… whether by land or by sea, or in the battle against the pagans, shall have immediate

The emergence of the medieval crusades was spearheaded by the historically influential speech of Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermont. The meeting was a result of Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus enlisting in help from Urban in the Greek war against the Turks. In the year 1095, French knights assembled at Clermont to listen to Urban’s call for reform. Here Urban II urged the people to fight off the Muslim Turks and reclaim the Holy Land as he insists this was God’s will. This particular assembly played a crucial role in beginning a series of significant crusades against the Muslim people (Britannica n.pag.).

Two children calmed to reserved a messeg from god to retake the Holy Land Jerusalem and started to get other children to join them. the pope liked this and supported them.Nicholas and Stephen took 30,000 other kids to raclam it but Nicholas group reach Geno and some stayed and others went home. Stephen group was going to pairs to talk with the french king but was turned down and then they wher sold as slaves to North Africa markets.so the children crusade ended.

Pope Urban was seeing an opening for power in the year of 1095. He had decided to help the leader of the Byzantine Empire by killing the Turks. While the Turks are Muslim and Pop Urban is a Christian, he wants to stay elsewhere and not around people who don’t practice his same religion.

The First Crusade is the military action that was started by Roman Pope, Urbanus II in 1096. This was a military action, but also many civilian who have faith to God were joined to the war. The purpose of this war was to capture the Holy Land, and many fights were occurred between Christianity and Islam.

The Crusades was a movement that stemmed from the growing appeal and power of the church (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 326). As von Sivers Desnoyers and Stow infer that the crusades were in part inspired by the religious enthusiasm sweeping across Europe (326). In 1180 the Seljuk Turks took control of a substantial territories in the middle east which caused Pope Urban II to call for the launch of a crusade against to the Holy Land at Council of Clermont in France in 1095 (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 326). The following year the main force of about 7000 mounted knights and 35000 infantry crossed into Asia Minor and in 1097 took Nicea from the Turks (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 326). Two years later Jerusalem was freed from Muslim control but at a severe cost of Human life (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 326). There were other crusades that followed afterwards.

In November of 1095, pope Urban II gave a sermon that would be the beginning of the Crusades. The First Crusade had a very important impact in Medieval England, it started as an attempt to get back Jerusalem. In 1076 the Muslims captured Jerusalem, any Christian who wanted to visit the Holy Land faced great danger. In 1095, Urban spoke to a great crowd at Clermont in France. He called for a war against the Muslims so that Jerusalem was regained for the Christian faith.
