They were great crusades, and ended up every one dieing, even moe off The Simpsons and he has appeared on Family Guy!! omfg.
The crusaders who were the Peasant crusaders in 1096 and the Noble crusaders in 1097 wanted to re- capture the Holy Land which was important to them, as they were Christians. The Peasant crusaders failed, so the Nobles had to step up and take back the Holy Land.
the holy land
Ostensibly, the Crusaders invaded the Middle East to recapture the Holy Land.
The Crusaders were from all part of Europe but the Crusades themselves were in the holy land, Jerusalem, in the Middle East.
The Crusaders wore chainmail armor, helmets, and carried shields during their campaigns in the Holy Land. They also wore tunics with the symbol of the cross to identify themselves as Crusaders.
The Crusaders were the Christians. That was the whole point. They were going to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims.
to retake the holy land
The Crusaders, who could be children OR women, could be Crusaders... or whoever wanted to serve their religion. in the middle ages pilgrims or explorers were the Crusaders of the Holy Land
A General named Saladin led the Muslim Army to retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Crusaders.
The Crusaders were not after adventure, land, and glory. They were in fact looking for the reknown Ark Of The Covenant and The Holy of Holies.
17,000 crusaders were ruling for the holy land and in the 15 centuary there were 1334,9080 crusaders i guess i dont know
It was not so much what they faced but more what the people on the road that the crusaders used face when the crusaders passed them. The crusaders has also been known to plunder on their way to the holy land. But the crusaders had to deal with Muslims that intended to stop or kill the crusaders on their way to the holy land and not to mention that it was a 6 month journey. They also had to cross the Alps and Many deserts. So the elements I would say was their greatest challenge.
