Best Answer

While he had nothing to do with the First Crusade, as he had died in 1085. Gregory's influence had a lot to do with the mindset of the Crusaders. It was Gregory that introduced the concept of 'Holy War', where it was right to kill in God's name. Without this concept, one wonders if the Crusades would ever of happened.
