The Good, Bad And Ugly Of The Crusades
“Whoever for devotion alone, not to gain honor or money, goes to Jerusalem to liberate the Church of God can substitute this journey for all penance.”
These were the words spoken by Pope Urban II during the Council of Clermont, these words led to the First Crusade of the 11th century and would inspire future crusades to the east. These crusades led to millions of deaths and the suffering of people throughout the next two centuries.
The Crusades were important to the history of Jerusalem and many other places they ventured to. The Christians acted in response to the Islamic Invasions that had happened centuries ago and continued after the Crusades. These Islamic invaders were also quite brutal, but not too much on those just yet as that will be a future topic on this channel. Stick around to find out the tales of the Crusaders throughout the Middle Ages, on a Day in History.
Background on the Crusades
The Crusades were holy conquests that started in 1095 and continued for centuries. These Crusades were usually sponsored by the Latin Church in the West against non-Christians in the East, usually Muslim and Jewish peoples. Many men that were involved believed that their participation in the Crusades would help rid themselves of the sins they had committed in their lives.
The Roman Catholic Church was at the center of the Crusades as the Crusaders got support for their wars from the leadership at the church. Jerusalem was at the heart of the struggle since it was a holy city to Christians. Jerusalem to the Christians was where Jesus preached, died, and eventually resurrected himself. The idea that non-Christians inhabited and ruled the holy city, infuriated the Christian raiders and may account for the brutality shown to the people within Jerusalem.
