CRUSADES
Tamera Rami
Period 6

The title for my poster was “Free Our Holy Land and our prize will surely be grand.” I also photo shopped a picture of Pope Urban II holding a bag of money. I used this as my title and used that picture because one reason people joined the Crusades, was because they had the expectations of receiving money and land. Another image I had on my poster was the stairway to heaven. During the recruitment for the Crusades, Pope Urban said remissions of sins will be granted for those who join the Crusades, so to the people of Medieval Europe, it was basically a guaranteed pass to heaven. Lastly, I put the “Adventure Time” logo on my poster because another reason people joined the Crusades was for adventure/thrill seeking.

    Paul F. Crawford's Four Myths About The Crusades

    The hierarchy of the 11th century would dictate that I would follow my monarch’s lead and accept the cross. However, should my King elect not to engage or join the fight then I am not bound to do so even if requested by the Pope or any of his messengers. This was especially true during the years 1095-1096 when Pope Urban II called for a “holy war against Muslim.” Despite the fact that thousands of knights and nobles joined the crusade, the reality was that initially many more did not chose to align with the papacy. The act of war is expensive. Paul F. Crawford in his article the “Four Myths About the Crusades” makes note of a comment made by Fred Cazel who stated, “Few Crusaders had sufficient cash both to pay their obligations at home and…

    Pope Urban II: The First Crusades In Medieval Europe

    Pope Urban II’s decision to launch the First Crusades altered Medieval Europe politically, socially, and economically. The Pope stressed the religious and economic importance of the Eastern churches and Jerusalem that had both been taken over by Muslim Turks. Previously Vikings and Muslims had been attempting to invade most Western European countries and were troubling them but were soon defeated. All across Europe countries were economically recovering and looking for ways to expand. With the growth of people entering the Catholic Church many people were looking for ways to honor God.

    The Second Crusade: Discord Between The Crusade States

    The Second Crusade: Discord between the Crusader states Tyler Rathke HIS 111-601 After the end of the first Crusade, three Crusader States were created in the East. The three Crusader states were the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Principality of Antioch, and the county of Edessa and after the first three Crusader states were developed, a fourth was added called the County of Tripoli. The social, political, and economic factors throughout the Crusader States led to the cause of the second Crusade and planted the seeds for the beginning of the third Crusade. The County of Edessa was located farther North than the rest of the Crusader states, which made it less populated and caused it to be the weakest of the Crusader states.…

    How Did The Crusade Survive In Medieval Times?

    The Medieval times were a ruthless time for people. At that time, the world was focused on attaining greed, power, and salvation and the call for a crusade gave these. During the crusade, people could loot the riches from battles they have won. This makes the crusade more of a fast and “easy” way to get rich around that time. The next thing people wanted was power; joining the crusade meant that they would attain riches and a bit of fame. This makes them more reputable towards people and the kingdom they reside in, thus giving them more power which in turn gives them more of a relaxing life. Lastly, the people wanted salvation in the afterlife. Many people back then committed sins that were unforgivable to the Catholic Church so they were…

    Crusades Dbq

    When Holy Crusades are mentioned many people will go straight to the epic encounters over the Holy Land of Jerusalem against the Muslim Forces but that was not the only crusade to be called by the Papacy. The Baltic Crusades also known as the Northern Crusades was the Catholic Churches push to clear out the pagan ideology from Northern Europe once and for all. This crusade was called to begin by Pope Celestine III (1106 – 1198) in 1195 but the local Christian states were already fighting to suppress the pagan forces for some time before the call to arms. With the Catholic Churches official call to war many mercenaries, soldiers, and the elite Catholic Christian military orders answered the call to protect the borders of the Christian Europe…

    The Crusades, often enough, is used as a weapon for atheist to disprove Christianity as a peaceful religion. Many people say the crusades were a chain of attacks against world religion. Others claim it was an excuse to murder thousands. In my personal opinion, I disagree with all of the aforementioned claims. The crusades were a chain of events that were started by Pope Urban II, to regulate, and to attempt to eliminate Islam from the face of the earth.…

    The Crusades: Contributions To The People Of Europe

    The Crusades were important to the people of Europe for several reasons. The most important reason is that they were an attempt to defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands. The Crusades also provided many opportunities to the people of Europe that ultimately contributed to many improvements of their society. I personally think that the Crusades brought about accomplishments that could not have been achieved otherwise such as effects it produced economically, the political effects, and the impact it had on European culture.…

    The Reform Crusades

    After America had established its own government, it also had to establish a new American culture. To improve its society and create a more stable culture it would need to undergo multiple changes. These changes were referred to as the reform crusades. Temperance supporting organizations were established limiting the amount of alcoholic liquors available to public. Religious leaders felt as though the public was beginning to lose interest in church so they began to travel across the frontier and preach to the people of the area. A women’s role in society became a more noticeable movement as women protested and held meetings all over the states. Education was changed to a more equal and organized learning experience for children. The reform crusades of the 19th century resulted in a number of positive revolutionary changes in the American culture.…

    The First Crusade

    The First Crusade was a military expedition by the Roman Catholic Church from 1096-1099 in order to retake holy lands taken by Muslim conquest of the Levant. The result of the work led to the recapturing of Jerusalem. During the crusade knights and peasants from many parts of Western Europe traveled by land and sea to Constantinople and then to Jerusalem. The peasants outnumbered the knights. Peasants and knights were split into separate armies. However, because the peasants weren't well-trained in combat their army failed to reach Jerusalem. The knights arrived at Jerusalem and launched an assault on the city and captured it in July1099 while killing many of the city's Muslim and Jewish people. They also established the crusader states of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The First Crusade mainly began because of political and social problems in Europe during the 11th century. It seems that Christianity caused the majority of the problem because the papacy wanted to establish a uniform religion throughout Europe, but there were many battles across the land that caused so many problems. As a result the popes who had great political power established these crusades which were fairly well organized. Although Europe was successful in capturing Jerusalem for the first time their rule was short lived. They weren't even able to maintain hold on Jerusalem for more than two centuries. Before this crusade the Byzantine Empire had to fight with the Seljuqs and other Turkish dynasties for control. When the crusaders arrived there had already been conflict wit the area. The pope rulers were too much of extremists. They worried about capturing land for religious purposes before trying to improve their own living conditions before trying to capture even more land. This is something I don't understand with most empires is why the capture more land when they are already in social and…

    Is karma the reason for the slow but evident sinking of Venice into the Mediterranean? Maybe it is indemnity for the cruel selfish acts of Venice during the Fourth Crusade.

    Why Did People Join The First Crusades?

    During the first Crusades many people joined the Crusaders because Pope Urban II said that God wanted them to. Also because of the spiritual reward like forgiveness of sins, and forgiveness of debts and an afterlife in heaven. On the other hand during the second and third Crusades many people joined for more selfish reasons. They only cared about them becoming rich and famous, and it began to become a lesser reason to join because of God and a greater reason because of wealth and fame. When the Crusades realized that all their sins would be forgiven they started to take it for granted. The Crusades were selfish because they were only seeking wealth, fame, and forgiveness of sins.…
