Detailed explanation-1: -On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II makes perhaps the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the Crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land, with a cry of “Deus vult!” or “God wills it!”
Detailed explanation-2: -What two aspects of Christianity helped drive the Crusaders to embark on the Crusades? The Crusades drew inspiration from two Christian institutions, pilgrimage and holy war.
Detailed explanation-3: -The movement helped both to militarize the medieval western Church and to sustain criticism of that militarization. It arguably helped solidify the pope’s control over the Church and made certain financial innovations central to Church operations. And it both reflected and influenced devotional trends.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Fourth Crusade (1202–1204) was a Latin Christian armed expedition called by Pope Innocent III.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles.
