Today we continued presentations on the Crusades
What I learned about the Crusades:
Simony- the act of paying off
Lay investiture- The appointment of, bishops, abbots, and other church officials.
Pope Leo:
- Born into a family of noble rank
- Against simony
Richard the lionhearted- King of England during the 1100's Saladin First sultian of Egypt
Causes of the Crusades: muslims killed 3,000 Christians at Jerusalem, wanted control of the holy land, Turks caused problems because the invaded the land.
Benefits of Crusades- Kings could get rid of knights, The Church gained a lot of power and wealth from the crusades
Crusades:
- There were 7 and 8 crusades to the holy land
- Women were told to give money not go and fight
Causes of the Church Reforms:
- The priest were marrying
- Bishops and popes didn't have good behaviors
- Wanted to restore basic principles of christiona religion.
Impacts of the Crusades
- Catholic Church became more wealth and power
- Politics- decrease in the aristocracy
- Commerce- trade
- Social and Intellectual development
Setting the Tone of Religious Hate:
- Catholics were trying to take out the Muslims
- Catholics wanted to get rid of any religion that would be a threat towards them
- Muslims were defending themselves
- Muslims and Jews fought together
Crusades started in 1095, Pope Urban II's
Started as freeing the Holy Land then became about seizing Spain from the Moors, the Slavs and Pagans from eastern europe.
