(1096–1291)
In 1095 at Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II
calls for war to rescue
Holy Land
from Muslim infidels. The First Crusade
(1096) is assembled in response to Emperor Alexius I. The Christians capture
Antioch
(1098) and
Jerusalem
(1099). They establish the Crusader States,
ruled by Europeans. It is the only successful crusade. The Second Crusade
begins after the Seljuk Turks recapture
Edessa
, one of the Crusader States, in 1144. It is led
by King Louis VIII of France and Holy Roman Emperor Conrad III. Crusaders perish
in
Asia Minor
(1147).
