The Crusades 1095-1300’s Conditions that made the Crusades possible for the Europeans The beginning of the Reconquista by the Spanish nobles The Byzantine Empire was being attacked by the Seljuk Turks and had asked Europe for help A divided Middle East showed the possibility of “rescuing” Jerusalem A growing population of young, landless European nobles Urban II’s reason (and he is important because he was the one who started it all) - Chance to reunite the divided Church - Chance to increase the prestige (and power) of the Church - Reduce the feudal warfare that was going between European nobles. Reasons behind people joining the Crusades Obeying God’s will Plenary indulgence Pursuit of riches Acquiring their own lands instead of being given a fief Avoiding taxes Map for the Crusades 1st Crusade (1096) Goal- Rescue Jerusalem Success (one of the only ones) Aftermath: Established 4 feudal states with a French feudal lord but did not last long. 2nd Crusade (1144) Goal- To recapture lands retaken by the Muslims Failure 3rd Crusade (1189-1192) Goal- To recapture Jerusalem.
