Transcript of The Crusades! Christian Holy War Copyright © Clara Kim 2007. All rights reserved.
The Invaders• In 1093, Byzantine
Emperor named Alexius Comnenus ask for help against invaders– THE INVADERS: The
Muslim Turks aka Ottoman Turks
• The Muslim Turks were trying to take over the Byzantine capital of CONSTANTINOPLE
Pope Urban II
• Pope Urban II read the letter asking for help and called for a “holy war” or CRUSADE
• He said those who fought and died in the Crusades would be promised a spot in Heaven with all sins forgiven
THE GOAL• The goal of these
Christian soldiers were to recover –1. Jerusalem and
–2. Holy Land
• They wanted it back from the Muslim Turks
Crusader Spirit• There were economic and religious motives for
the Crusades
–Kings and the Church: A way to get rid of knights who always fought each other and threatened the peace of the kingdom
–Younger Sons: A way to gain land and position in society since the oldest son gets everything
–Knights and Commoners: fired by religious zeal (passion)
First Crusade
• Unprepared troops
• No strategy
• Captured Jerusalem
• Carved in up into 4 Crusader states
Second Crusade• Muslim leader
Saladin takes control of Jerusalem
• Muslim Turks re-conquer the city
• Saladin is described to be honest and brave
Third Crusade• Richard the Lion
Hearted = English King and two other leaders recapture Jerusalem
• He and Saladin respected each other
In the End• The Christians
are finally pushed out of Jerusalem
• Muslim Turks are the victors and take over the Byzantine in 1453
Effects of the Crusades• Negatives:
– Weakened the Byzantine Empire, the Pope and nobles
– Kings become stronger– Leaves a legacy of bitterness between the
Christians, Jews and the Muslims
• Positives:– Stimulated trade throughout the Mediterranean and
Middle East– Europe learns much from the Muslims
