Call for the Crusades !




The Crusades are considered to be a crucial event between the Muslim population and the

Christians about taking over the Holy land , with both religious groups going so far as to kill off

and keep Europe in ruins due to desperation of taking over Jerusalem. Although the Crusades

were initiated by the Roman Catholic Church to force out Islamic rule out of lands sanctioned by

, the Catholic church. In the text Pope Urban II’s Speech at the Count of Clermont by Robert the

Monk, Pope Urban II states that the land of the Franks being too narrow for its large population

is a rather significant issue for the Crusaders due to the Muslims having destroyed the Greek

empire, and taken over the holy land , along with it being the will of God to take over the Holy

land, and lastly the liberation of the Christians



The Muslims had taken over the Holy Land of Jerusalem , destroyed the Byzantine empire and

ruined the altars of the churches which is why the Pope had grown to hate them and wanted

vengenance.They also had held some of the Christians captive in their land and forcefully killed

them using crule torture methods such as fire and pillage which destroyed the population. This

shows how vengeful the Pope is towards the Muslims by the way he uses certain terms and

addresses the Muslims as that are ruining the holy land and how he addresses the Franks as being

the race that is chosen and beloved by God which clearly shows how he thinks that the Christians

are the ones that god chose to be on the Holy land , and not the the Muslims. Pope Urban II also

addressed grievances towards them < a race from the kingdom of the Persians, an accursed race,

a race wholly alienated from God, a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit

was not steadfast with God < (Robert the Monk , Readings in European History) which shows

how he uses these types of phrases as propaganda to make the common people and other people

in the audience feel moved about fighting the Muslims , also to prove his point about how the

Muslims are very cruel and unjust towards the Christians by describing how they treat the

captured people who are Christian especially women. He especially mentions how it was God

that desired for the common people to get their holy land back just like how their ancestors

conquered the land that is now theirs.
