What Pope Urban II said… The pleading from Alexis was just
what the Pope wanted to hear. (they didn’t get along and now he needed his help)
1095 Pope made a speech in France in it he passed along this message
“You common people who have
been miserable sinners, become
soldiers of Christ! You nobles, do
not [quarrel] with one another.
Use your arms in a just war!
Labor for everlasting reward.”
