Write history card ~ The Early Crusades 57
1096
Pope Urban II responded to the Byzantine Emperor's plea for help against the Muslims from Turkistan. They had moved into Palestine, torturing and killing Christians and Jews, and were warring non-stop against Constantinople. The Pope agreed to help. 15,000 crusaders responded to the Pope's urging, but without leadership and planning, they starved on the way or were slaughtered by Turks. Three years later, nobles and knights organized a more proper "First Crusade" and reclaimed Palestine.
