Jerusalem and the surrounding areas is sacred
to Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Christians know this area as the Holy Land.
The Seljuk takeover made it impossible to go
on Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land.
Feudal princes used success in warfare to gain
power.
Merchants financed the Crusades hoping to
gain access to trade routes.
Seljuk attacked the Byzantine Empire and the
emperor asked the pope for help.
The pope agreed and this became the first
Crusade.
5.) I can describe the results of each Crusade.
First Crusade:
1. Many Crusaders did not take enough supplies, so
tens of thousands died on the way.
2. Many were also captured and enslaved.
3. Christian forces captured the cities of Nicaea,
Antioch, and Jerusalem.
4. The land was divided into four Crusader states:
Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli, and Jerusalem.
Second Crusade:
1. It began after Muslim Turks recaptured the
Crusader state of Edessa.
2. The French and Germany armies went on the
Crusade and were defeated.
3. The Christians were able to keep control of the
other Crusader states.
5.) I can describe the results of each Crusade.
Third Crusade:
1. After Jerusalem was recaptured , the pope called for
another Crusade.
2. King Richard the Lion-Hearted was the Crusaders’ leader.
3. Christians won many battles, but could not recapture
Jerusalem.
4. Saladin and Richard agreed to a truce that left Jerusalem
in Muslim control, but allowed Christian pilgrims to visit.
Fourth Crusade:
1. Crusaders agreed to attack the Byzantine city of Zara to
pay Italian traders for transportation.
2. Crusaders then sacked Constantinople and put a political
ally in charge.
3. The pope was furious, but could not stop the Crusaders.
4. The Crusaders did not continue the Crusade.
5. After the Crusades were over, the Muslims had driven the
Christians out of the Holy Land.
6.) I can examine the effects of the Crusades on the economies and societies of Europe and Palestine.
1.
The Crusaders brought back Asian goods, which
increased trade.
2.
Increased trade helped European towns grow.
3.
Christian hostility towards Jews grew.
4.
Jews were expelled from England and France after the
Crusades.
5.
Christian armies drove out Muslim leaders from Spain
in what is now known as the Reconquista.
6.
In Europe, the Church used the Inquisition to try people
who opposed the Church.
7.
Muslims living in Palestine were not affected by the
Crusades.
