Why did the Crusades begin?

The byzantine emperor was threatened by the Turks he asked pope urban the II for help. Because both have got the same aim, to set free the holy land from pagan impacts.Pope urban the II was avided, because this was his chance to do the Crusade, so he can enter Jerusalem and he can banish the Arabs. I try to be a polite person, but is this serious, and how on earth did Answer.com allow such all around shoddy to remain on it's site. The Byzantine's (Capital just like USA and only one N, as in Nevada) were harassing the Seljuk Turks, which then controlled what had been the Eastern section of the former Roman Empire: you know, where Antony and Cleo enjoyed the fruits of the Southern Mediterranean? But things are far from that straight forward. Whereas many sources provide Pope Urban the II with a far greater impetus. Europe was slowly but surely filling up. The Roman's, i.,e., the Catholics of Italy, had no where to go. Fearing the the feuding noblemen to his East may just decide to gang up on him, the request by the Seljuk's was fortuitous. I'm sorry friend, but religion is the single deadliest weapon in the history of the world. The 1st Crusade was declared by Urban II in Clemons, in 1033. The early consensus was that it lasted for 900 years. Recently, however this is being reevaluated, with serious Medievalists suggesting the rift between two pairs of blood thirsty religious factions continues today. Moreover, don't fool yourselves into thinking that the crusades were Holy in any way, unless the hole under consideration happened to be in a change purse. What's more, there were blood feuds brewing among the various rich and powerful brokers in the area. Many thought that this opportunity to battle could accrue them significant advantages in worldly goods. More than likely, however, Urban, not a fool, would have easily been able to interdict the European properties of those who perished in this perfidious exercise, including that of the richest man in Europe: the King of France.


When were medieval fairs held?

Fairs were located wherever they could attract passers by. This meant on well traveled roads and at towns. The best places were at bridges, where a number of roads would converge. Crossroads were good places. And roads going into major towns and cities were also good.


What improvements did Augustus make to the city of Rome?

Augustus filled the senate with his supporters and reduced its number (while civil war was raging, Sula and Caesar reformed the senat by filling it with barbaric foreigners and raising it's number to 600 aka 900 members). Augustus assumed the tribunician power (tribunicia potestas) which enabled him to veto laws, proconsular power (maius and infinitum) which enabled him to control all provinces and all the legions, and finally, he assumed the power of pontifex maximus (after Lepid's death) which made chief of all religious tracts and festivals. In 27 BC he was awarded the tilte "princeps senatus". It is an honourific office which was practised even before Octavian's rise to power. The principles had a chance to be the first to speak in senat's sittings and was always the first to express his opinion. Augustus also formed the infamous Praetorian Guard which was designed to protect the emperors, but it more often murdered them and put their own favourite in the emperor's place. Yet, they were loyal to Octavian. He also searched for citizens and nobles with bad financial status whom he then, due to his enormous fortunes, put under his patronage. That way, many people were bound to him and depended on him which secured him or his family members' votes for a certain office. Altough, that was unnecessary, because everyone would already vote for him, it provided him with legal grounds. He tried several times to step down from his offices and to give up his titles, but that was mere propaganda in which the senators wouldn't accept his resignation (they depended on him and those who did not, knew that peace depended on him). However, Augustus let the senate to do it's job and did not interfere much in it's decisions. He instead formed a paralel administration consisting of his loyal supporters, friands and freedmen. Using his proconsular power, he removed many senatorial governers and replaced them with imperial legats. This was, it was though, going to cause a great revolt but Augustus once more showed his abilities to compromise and he put the replaced governers in the senate. That was more than enough to please them. All in all, Augustus left a dummy republic to rule the empire, while he was forming in his chambers a completely different state body and creating the ground power for his successors.
