  29. Background on Crusades • Early wars against Muslims • The reconquista (1000-1492) • The Norman conquest of Sicily (11th century) • In cooperation with papacy • By 1060s plans for crusades were under discussion among cardinals and leading bishops

  30. Background • The first crusade was conceived in the mid 11th century and was meant to reverse the capture of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from recent Muslim invasions • Crusades had the effect of rallying the most violent members of Europe around the defense of the Christian religion • Whether consciously conceived as a way to pacify Europe or not, the exportation of violent members of European society to fight in foreign wars had the effect of pacifying European society

  31. The First Crusade • Conceived before the papacy of Gregory VII (1073-85) but first preached by Urban II (1088-99) at Clermont in 1095 • Within a year of his sermon, two groups headed toward Constantinople • The People's Crusade, led by Peter the Hermit; they took the overland route • A slower and smaller contingent of well armed and equipped nobles some sailed to Constantinople while most also took the overland route

  32. The First Crusade • The People's Crusade arrived in Constantinople in late 1096 and received a cool reception • Poorly equipped • Little military experience • Undisciplined • Extraordinary religious faith • The Byzantium Emperor provided transportation across the Bosporus to Asian Minor, where they were almost immediately massacred by Seljuk forces; the survivors returned to Constantinople and joined the knights in 1097

  33. Summary of First Crusade • The only Crusade to achieve its initial purpose: the recapture of Jerusalem and much of the Holy Land • The territorial conquests were minor but they military victories demonstrated the ferocity of the western European warriors whose equipment and supplies were poorly suited to the hot, arid conditions of the Near East • Increased contact between Europe and the rest of the Mediterranean

  34. Second Crusade, 1147-49 • Inspired by Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) • Led by Louis VII of France and Conrad III, Holy Roman Emperor • A failure: “an abyss so deep that I must call him blessed who is not scandalized by it.” • Rivalry between the princes and also undermined by princes of the Holy Land • Ended the Marriage of Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine, who married Henry II of England • Failed to take Damascus

  35. Third Crusade, 1189-1193 • Reaction against the rising power of Saladin • Led by • Emperor Frederick Barbarossa • Drowned on the way there • King Phillip Augustus of France • Quarreled with Richard and went home • Richard the Lion Hearted of England • Richard enjoyed military and diplomatic success but failed to recapture Jerusalem; he was later taken hostage by the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry VI • Ultimately this crusade was also a failure

  36. Fourth Crusade, 1198-1204 • Initiated by Innocent III • Led by territorial princes, notably Baldwin of Flanders • Embarcation from Venice • Purpose hijacked by the Venetians: attacks on Zara and Constantinople • Crusaders excommunicated by Innocent III twice but readmitted to the Church both times • Huge influx of booty to the West • Temporary re-unification of Christianity

  37. Albigensian Crusade, 1209-1229 • The Cathars, 1150-1250 • dual gods • anti-clericalism • rival church • support in the Midi • the perfecti • The papal response • the Dominicans • the Crusade • Philip II “Augustus”
