1 CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGIONS: THE CRUSADES UNIT 2: RELIGION AND BELIEF SYSTEMS

2 CENTRAL QUESTIONS Religion does not exist in a vacuum. Religion leaves a large, influential footprint ranging from single individuals to large governments to entire cultures. How does this influence manifest? How might cultures interact when shaped by different religions? How is warfare allowed, or justified?

3 HOW IS WARFARE JUSTIFIED? Christianity and Islam are religions that preach peace and love for your neighbor...how is warfare allowed? According to religious leaders, warfare is sometimes a necessary and lesser evil if the cause is just the authority calling for war is legitimate the intention is right Religious leaders are merely human Corrupt leaders can preach corrupted versions of their religion, leading to conflict

4 CONTEXT The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims fought primarily to secure control of holy sites considered sacred by both groups

5 CONTEXT In 1054 CE, the East-West Schism (or Great Schism) takes place, splitting Christianity into two: Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholicism Eastern and Western Europe are split along religious lines, becoming rivals

6 CONTEXT World Powers in 1095 CE: Seljuks and Fatimids (Muslims) Byzantine Empire (Eastern Orthodox) Western Europe (Catholic)

7 CONTEXT Muslims held control of the Arabian Peninsula, N. Africa, and the Holy Land from ~ CE Holy Land = Jerusalem and surrounding land In the 11th century, Muslims began conquering Byzantine territory in the Anatolian Peninsula

8

9 FIRST CRUSADE The 1st Crusade began in 1095 CE when the Byzantine emperor requested military aid from Pope Urban II Pope Urban II calls upon European Christians to fight back the evil and vile race from Anatolia, retake the Holy Land Urban II promises that all who die in battle against Muslims will go to heaven European Christians flocked to the Middle East Several thousand Jews massacred on the journey

11 From the confines of Jerusalem and the city of Constantinople a horrible tale has gone forth and very frequently has been brought to our ears, namely, that a race from the kingdom of the Persians, an accursed race, a race utterly alienated from God, a generation forsooth which has not directed its heart and has not entrusted its spirit to God, has invaded the lands of those Christians and has depopulated them by the sword, pillage and fire; it has led away a part of the captives into its own country, and a part it has destroyed by cruel tortures; it has either entirely destroyed the churches of God or appropriated them for the rites of its own religion. They destroy the altars, after having defiled them with their uncleanness. They circumcise the Christians, and the blood of the circumcision they either spread upon the altars or pour into the vases of the baptismal font. When they wish to torture people by a base death, they perforate their navels, and dragging forth the extremity of the intestines, bind it to a stake; then with flogging they lead the victim around until the viscera having gushed forth the victim falls prostrate upon the ground. Others they bind to a post and pierce with arrows. Others they compel to extend their necks and then, attacking them with naked swords, attempt to cut through the neck with a single blow. What shall I say of the abominable rape of the women? To speak of it is worse than to be silent. The kingdom of the Greeks is now dismembered by them and deprived of territory so vast in extent that it cannot be traversed in a march of two months. On whom therefore is the labor of avenging these wrongs and of recovering this territory incumbent, if not upon you? You, upon whom above other nations God has conferred remarkable glory in arms, great courage, bodily activity, and strength to humble the hairy scalp of those who resist you...

12 ...Therefore I say to you that God, who implanted this in your breasts, has drawn it forth from you. Let this then be your war-cry in combats, because this word is given to you by God. When an armed attack is made upon the enemy, let this one cry be raised by all the soldiers of God: It is the will of God! It is the will of God! And we do not command or advise that the old or feeble, or those unfit for bearing arms, undertake this journey; nor ought women to set out at all, without their husbands or brothers or legal guardians. For such are more of a hindrance than aid, more of a burden than advantage. Let the rich aid the needy; and according to their wealth, let them take with them experienced soldiers. The priests and clerks of any order are not to go without the consent of their bishop; for this journey would profit them nothing if they went without permission of these. Also, it is not fitting that laymen should enter upon the pilgrimage without the blessing of their priests. Whoever, therefore, shall determine upon this holy pilgrimage and shall make his vow to God to that effect and shall offer himself to Him as a, living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, shall wear the sign of the cross of the Lord on his forehead or on his breast. When,' truly',' having fulfilled his vow be wishes to return, let him place the cross on his back between his shoulders. Such, indeed, by the twofold action will fulfill the precept of the Lord, as He commands in the Gospel, "He that taketh not his cross and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." - Pope Urban II

13 FIRST CRUSADE First Crusade was a success for Christians Crusaders besieged Jerusalem Crusaders promised peace in return for surrender Jerusalem s governor surrendered Crusaders captured Jerusalem after bloody massacre W. Europeans set up Crusader States Byzantines regain much of Anatolia
