Click the Speaker On button to listen to the words. Why It’s Important Leaders in the Roman Catholic Church wanted to develop a civilization in western Europe that was based on Christian ideals. By 1000, missionary monks had brought the Church’s teachings to most of Europe. They converted people and built new churches and monasteries. The Roman Catholic Church united western Europeans and took the lead in government, law, art, and learning for hundreds of years. The Church helped pass on the heritage of the Roman Empire. Latin became the official language of the Church.

Universities • After a while, students complained that teachers held few classes and did not cover enough subjects, and teachers complained that untrained people were teaching.

The Crusades • For hundreds of years, western European Christians visited shrines in Jerusalem. • When, in 1071, a people called Seljuq Turks conquered Jerusalem, taking control of the Christian shrines, traveling in Palestine became difficult for the Christians. • The Christians were shocked and angered by what was happening in the Holy Land. • The result was a series of holy wars called crusades, which lasted about 200 years. 36 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section 4 begins on page 388 of your textbook. A Call to War • Even after taking Palestine, Turkish armies continued to threaten the Byzantine Empire. • In 1095, Pope Urban II spoke before a large crowd in the town of Clermont in eastern France calling for action against the Turks. • His call to action promised crusaders would be free of debts and taxes and that God would forgive the sins of those who died in battle. 37 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Peasants’ Crusade • When Urban II called for a crusade, the Europeans responded eagerly and adopted the war cry “Deus vult,” which means, “It is the will of God.” • Urban II wanted the nobles to plan and lead the crusade. The peasants, however, grew impatient and formed their own armies. • In the spring of 1096, about 12,000 French peasants began the long journey to Palestine, and two other groups set out from Germany. 38 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Peasants’ Crusade (cont.) • The Byzantine emperor, who wanted to rid his capital of the peasants, gave them supplies and sent them to fight the Turks in Asia Minor where they were almost completely wiped out by Turkish bowmen. 39 The Nobles’ Crusade • In 1097, the nobles set out on an expensive crusade. • About 30,000 crusaders arrived in Asia Minor, defeated the Turks, and moved south through the desert to Syria. • In 1099, the 12,000 surviving crusaders captured the Holy City of Jerusalem, killed Turks, Jews, and Christians alike, and looted. 40 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Kingdom Beyond the Sea • Many crusaders, who had lost much of their religious enthusiasm, returned home to western Europe, and some set up four feudal kingdoms called Outremer, or “the kingdom beyond the sea,” in the areas they won. • The crusaders took over the estates of rich Turkish and Arab Muslims and divided them among themselves and their best knights. • When the crusaders were not fighting Turks, they ran their estates, went hunting, and attended the local court. 41 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Saladin and the Crusade of Kings • In 1174, when Saladin, a Muslim military leader, became the ruler of Egypt, he united the Muslims throughout the Near East and started a war against western Crusaders in Palestine. • Saladin’s armies were well organized, devoted to Islam, and headed by honest and just leaders called emirs. • In 1187, Saladin’s armies took Jerusalem and refused to massacre the city’s Christians. 42 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Saladin and the Crusade of Kings (cont.) • After Saladin’s victory, the Church urged another crusade, and western armies were led by three powerful rulers: King Richard I of England, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa of Germany, and King Philip II Augustus of France. • Called the Crusade of Kings, it was a failure. 43 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Loss of an Ideal • In 1202, Pope Innocent III called for yet another crusade, and knights went by ship from the Italian port of Venice. • Rich merchants wanted Venice to replace Constantinople as the eastern Mediterranean trading center. • When the soldiers found they could not pay all they owed, they agreed to conquer the city of Zara for the Venetians and capture Constantinople, which was burned and looted. 44 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Loss of an Ideal (cont.) • The crusaders stayed in Constantinople and divided the city with the Venetians. • Several other crusades were fought during the 1200s, but the Europeans did not win any of them. • The saddest was the Children’s Crusade in which French children, led by a peasant boy named Stephen of Cloyes, set sail from France, never reached Palestine, and were sold into slavery. 45 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The Loss of an Ideal (cont.) • In 1291, the Muslims won the Crusades by taking the city of Acre, the last Christian stronghold, and gained back all the land in Palestine that the crusaders had taken earlier. 46 Effects of the Crusades • The Crusades affected both the Near East and western Europe. • The Crusades helped to break down feudalism in western Europe as the desire for wealth, power, and land clouded the religious ideals of many western Europeans. • Contact with the cultured Byzantines and Muslims led western Europeans to again become interested in learning and to demand such luxuries as spices, sugar, lemons, rugs, tapestries, and richly woven cloth. 47 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Section Assessment Why were western Europeans of all classes of society eager to go on a crusade?

Eleanor of Aquitaine c. 1122-1204 French Queen At age 15, Eleanor inherited Aquitaine, a region in southern France. As one of the largest land owners in Europe, she married a French king, Louis VII, and accompanied him on a crusade. She later married King Henry II of England and had nine children. One of them included Richard the Lionheart. While Richard headed off on a crusade, Eleanor ruled England in his absence. When Richard died, she helped put her son John on the throne. Few doubted Eleanor’s power when she died at age 82. 75 Universities In Medieval Latin, the word universitas meant “corporation.” The earliest universities were given charters to do business by popes or emperors. Because teachers depended on their students’ fees, they had to attract enough students to earn a living. 76 Women in the Crusades Women responded to the call to recapture Jerusalem. A Greek historian wrote of “women dressed as men, mounted on horses and armed with lance and battle-axe.” The Pope banned women from fighting in the Third Crusade (1189-1192), a decision that the kings of Europe approved. Women continued to join the crusades, however, both as soldiers and as nurses. 77 Determining Exact Location • Most maps have grids, or patterns of horizontal and vertical lines that cross each other. • Generally, the horizontal lines are lines of latitude, and the vertical ones are lines of longitude. • Grids make it easier to determine the exact location of a place on Earth. Continued on next slide. 78 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Determining Exact Location • To find a place exactly, it is necessary to find what lines of latitude and longitude cross at that place. • The point at which they cross is the exact location. • Exact location may be shown by a set of numbers that list latitude first and then longitude (30° N, 60° E). • Such sets are called coordinates. Continued on next slide. 79 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Determining Exact Location • Look at the map of “The Crusades” on page 394 of your textbook. • Locate the city of Marseilles on the southern coast of France. • The line of latitude that passes through the city is 43° N. • The line of longitude that passes through it is 5° E. • This means that the exact location of Marseilles is 43° N, 5° E.
