The Crusades

For centuries, Europeans made the trip to
visit the Holy Land; however in the 1000’s
things began to change. The Arab
Muslims who have always controlled this
area had been taken over by a group of
people called the Seljuk Turks. This
group would sometimes attack Christian
pilgrims from Europe and closed the
routes to Jerusalem.
The Cause for the Crusades
The Cause:
 Seljuk Turks took the
Holy Lands from the
Arab Muslims
because Muhammad
was to have spent
time there.
 The Turks attacked
Christians on their
way to the Holy Land
and closed routes to
Jerusalem.

The Crusades


The Turks also
attacked the
Byzantine Empire.
Effect: The emperor
of the Byzantine
Empire asked Pope
Urban II to send
knights to fight the
Turks, but Pope
Urban II also had
other reasons to go
to war.
Byzantine Empire
• Use knights to save the Empire from the Turks
• Prevent the Turks from conquering more land
Holy Land
• Wanted the Holy Land to under Christian control
• Wanted Christians to be able to make the pilgrimage
To unite the Europeans against common foe
• Hoped to gain power and influence for himself.
• Others wanted the trade routes in that area.
Why Go To War
There were 8 crusades in total. 4 major
and 4 minor. However, a crusade was
attempted by a monk and a group of
common people.
 Peter the Hermit and a group of people
went to fight and ignored the Emperor’s
words and attacked the Muslims.
Unfortunately, many of Peter’s army didn’t
survive.

A Series of Crusades


The first crusade was a success for the
Europeans. They were able to regain control
of Jerusalem and set up four kingdoms in the
Holy Land. However, the Turkish Muslims
relentlessly attacked the kingdoms and
regained control of the Holy Lands.

Lesson 4
The Power of the Kings
Henry’s success in overthrowing the pope
was a hint of things to come. Major
changes were in the in the future for
Europe.
 The Power of the Nobles- During this
period the feudal system was still in
effect. Lords and Vassals had just as
much power as the kings as long as the
feudal system was working-if not- their
power would decline.

Nation Building
Growth of trade and towns
Kings began to support new towns in
exchange for money.
 They agreed to protect the towns and
made laws to help towns grow rich.
 The kings then hired armies to attack
other nobles.
 Some nobles were weakened lost land to
raise money for the Crusades, killed and
lands went to the kings.


The Decline of Feudalism
As a result, kings became more powerful
and lands or fiefs were combined to unite
a country. As these kingdoms grew they
became known as nations- a nation is a
community of people that shares
territory and a government.
 The process of combining smaller
communities with a united identity and a
national government is called nation
building.

The Birth of a Nation
William the Conqueror took
control of England had more
power than the nobles
Henry I and Henry II
increased the amount of
power the kings had
Kings
Nobles began to resent the
kings’ power
King John was an harsh king
who raised
Taxes and jailed his enemies
Changes in England
As a result of King John’s clash with the
clergy, the pope excommunicated him and
voided his title.
 The bishops created the Magna Carta or
the “Great charter”- it limited the king’s
power over the nobles.

King John/Magna Carta
Limited power
of a king
Couldn’t jail a
freeman
without just
cause
Great Council
consisted of
lords and
clergy
Magna Carta
Could not raise
taxes without
consulting
council
Nobles had a
say in
government
The council became the Model
Parliament. This included common
people as well as lords and clergy.
 This eventually evolved into Parliament
which is the legislature. Which in turn
unified England. It also gave the king
more power and nobles were more apt to
support the king.

Model Parliament
How did the Magna Carta effect the
people of England?
 Who and/or what benefitted from the
Magna Carta?
 Do you think King John had a choice to
sign the Magna Carta or not? Explain
 What do you think would have happened
to him if he didn’t sign?
