    Participants (name and


    description)

    Alexius Comnenus I (Byzantine Emperor)


    Pope Urban II
    Peter the Hermit (monk from Amiens)
    William of Tyre (reported anger of
    Crusaders)
    Godfrey of Bouillon
    Baldwin and Raymond of Toulouse
    (brothers of Godfrey). For Clermont, the call
    for a crusade spread throughout Europe,
    but the people who rallied to this first call
    were primarily from France, southern Italy,
    and Sicily. The Normans who had recently
    conquered England were still consolidating
    their control over that land; the Christian
    knights of Spain were fighting their own
    crusade against the Moslems there and
    only a few nobles from Germany
    responded to the call. Yet, thousands of
    others responded to this call and sewed
    crossed to their clothes to announce
    themselves as Crusaders. The First
    Crusade was estimated to be between
    5,000 and 10,000 mounted knights,
    between 25,000 to 50,000 foot soldiers and
    an equal number of non-combatants.
    Knights and nobles under the command of
    Godfrey, Baldwin and Raymond began to
    reach Constantinople by the same overlord
    route. Unlike Peters motley followers, they

    Pope Eugenius
    ordered
    Bernard of
    Clairvaux to form a
    second crusade to
    reconquer Edessa.
    King Louis VII of
    France and
    Roman Emperor
    conrad lll raised
    large armies to attack
    Damascus. Saladin,
    a courageous
    moslem leader and
    warrior who aimed to
    reclaim jerusalem,
    defeated the main
    crusader army and
    captured the king of
    jerusalem,
    Guy of Lusignan.

    Frederick Barbarossa of the


    Holy Roman Empire, Philip
    Augustus of France, and
    Richard the Lionhearted of
    England all participated in the
    third crusade. They were the
    three most powerful rulers in
    Europe. Pope Innocent III
    pushed RIchard and Philip
    Agustus to put a new tax on
    their subjects in order to pay
    for the crusade.

    Pope Innocent III called for a new


    crusade to regain the
    Holy Land
    The doge (ruler of
    Venice)told the crusaders
    they could pay for
    their transportation by
    capturing the city of
    Zara

    were organized armies. As each leader


    arrived in the Byzantine capital, the
    emperor, Alexius exacted a promise that if
    the Crusaders captured a city the Turks had
    seized from the Byzantine Empire, the city
    would be returned to Byzantine control. In
    exchange of these promises the emperor
    agreed to supply the Crusaders with
    supplies, such as, ships, guides, money
    and provisions for the march to Jerusalem.
    The first city the Crusaders reached was
    Nicaea, about 5fifty miles southeast of
    Constantinople. They began their siege
    only to awake one morning and find the
    Byzantine flag flying from the ramparts.
    Alexius had secretly negotiated with the
    defenders of Nicaea to surrender the city to
    the Byzantines. After the march through
    Asia Minor, the Crusaders laid siege to
    Antioch in northern Syria. Betrayed from
    within the city collapsed to the Crusaders,
    but the Turkish army soon came to defeat
    the Crusaders. Alexius then betrayed, in
    the Crusaders opinion, because he
    attacked the Crusaders. Peter found the
    nail from the across from Jesus who died
    on the cross, which allowed the Crusaders
    to gain strength and keep going. Next, the
    Crusaders moved towards the Turkish
    armies to fight back. The Crusaders
    reached Jerusalem in 1099 and laid siege
    to the city. Godfrey of Bullion then broke
    through the walls and entered the holy city.

    The massacre then allowed the Crusaders


    to move their control to Syria and Palestine.

    Specific Objective

    Miscellaneous Information

    The Moslems aimed


    to drive the
    crusaders out of the
    Middle East once
    and for all. However,
    once they captured
    Edessa, the
    crusaders aimed to
    reconquer it and thus
    the second crusade
    began.
    The purpose of the Crusade was to aid the
    Christians of the East and to liberate the
    Holy Land from the infidels. P. Urban

    The day of the


    conquest of
    Jerusalem by the
    muslims was the
    anniversary of the
    prophets ascension
    to heaven.

    The objective of the third


    crusade was to take
    Jerusalem back from the
    hands of the Muslims.

    The objective was to


    regain the Holy Land
    from the Moslems.

    When the churches


    and palaces were
    robbed instead of
    restoring the Emperor
    to the throne the
    Crusaders pushed
    him off the top of a tall

    marble column.
    Outcome:
    PositiveResults of all crusades:
    - Shattered parochialism of medieval europe - howe book pg. 373
    - Increased trade between europe and the eastern mediterranean
    - Crusading knights developed an appreciation of byzantine and moslem culture
    - Increased the pace of economic changes
    - Many ports were built around the empire
    - Constantinople gained their own city the trading monopoly they hoped for
    - Helped give Venice their economic power

    Negative1st Crusade: Crusaders lost an ally;


    2nd Crusade: The outcome of the second crusade was negative because the christians lost the important city of Jerusalem to the
    Muslims. This left them with only the port city of tyre, and a huge loss of power.
    Third Crusade: the outcome of the third crusade was negative because it failed in its main objective to take back Jerusalem. Little
    was accomplished throughout the entire crusade and it simply highlighted the rivalries that divided the most powerful Christian rulers
    in Europe.
    Fourth Crusade: The pope replaces the Greek orthodox clergy of Constantinople with priests loyal to the Roman Catholic tradition
