What were the Crusades?

The Crusades were a series of eight Christian military expeditions fought against Muslims for the Holy Lands between the years of 1096 and 1270 C.E.

The word “crusade” comes from the Latin word crux meaning cross.

“To take up the cross” meant to become a crusader.

To identify themselves, crusaders sewed symbols of the cross of Christ onto their clothing and painted crosses onto their shields.

What caused the Crusades?

***Holy Land was closed to Christians. • Around 1095 C.E., a new group of Muslims

(Seljuk Turks) took control of the Holy Lands, including Jerusalem, and closed it to all Jewish and Christian pilgrims.

• The Emperor of the Byzantine Empire asked Pope Urban II for help in regaining these lands for Christians.

• Pope Urban II agreed to help and called for the first Crusade.

What Caused the Crusades?

The Crusades: 1095-1272

Life Before the Turning Point

Europe was in the Dark Ages. There was little

trade and lack of education. Serfs worked the land

and did not leave their manor. The Church

dominated socially and politically.

Turning Point

Pope Urban II called for all Christians

to unite and fight the Muslims to

regain control of the Holy lands.

Effects/Changes/Impact

After four Crusades, the Muslims won control of the Holy

Lands. However, the crusades resulted in increased trade

in Europe and the development of towns. Trade routes

needed to be protected, which led to the rise of power of

Kings and the decrease of power of the nobles.
