the crusades

Crusade comes from the Latin word crux, meaning a cross.

To go on a crusade meant going to fight for Christ. In 1100, it meant going to fight the Muslim in the holy land , around Jerusalem, where Christ had lived.

In AD 637, the Muslims captured the city of Jerusalem, which was a holy city to Christians because Christ had lived and died in that area.

Pope Urban II heard of this and in 1095 called a mass meeting in France of all the knights. He made an passionate speech to them, calling on them to fight against the evil enemy to regain Jerusalem. At the end of his speech, thousands  came forward, shouting that they were ready to fight and die for Christ.

English, French and German knights went on Crusades for over 200 years. However, as they were always fighting amongst themselves they were never successful for long.

The religion of the Medieval Church was Roman Catholic.

People thought bad luck was caused by the God was angry.

People prayed to Saint because ask to help with thing concerned them.

Tithe was the tax that people has to pay yearly to the church.

People went to confession because they want to ask for the forgiveness .

The two most popular shrines in England were the shrine of our lady at Walsingham and the shrine of St Thomas at Canterbury.

I think Medieval Church controlled the people because in the way behavior the church wan people to be kind so people have last shine.
