Crusades, 1093-1204 • Took place during the Age of Faith (Christian) • Byzantine emperor Alexius Comnenus called for help against the invading Muslims • Pope Urban II called for a “holy war”, to regain control of the Holy Land (Byzantine Empire & Jerusalem)
Impact on Europe • Christian Europe continues dislike towards Muslims • Kings & church were able to have quarrelling knights sent off • Second sons & others, who wouldn’t inherit anything, left home to make something of themselves
Continued • Economically: trade increased • Jerusalem stayed within the control of the Muslims, but agreed that Christians could visit • Age of Faith: weakened & lessened the power of the Pope • Kings power increased, fewer knights & feudal land lords within the communities to go against kings
Impact on Muslim World • Muslims disliked Christians • Persecution of Muslims: Spanish Inquisition and Reconquista (cleansing) • Economy weakens from lack of trade • Culture spreads from interaction with European knights
