Armies of "christian" soldiers trying to liberate the holy christian city of jeruselum from the Muslims.
Additional Answer:
The crusades were attempts by the Western branch of Christianity (i.e. the Catholic church) to liberate Jerusalem (considered "the holy city") from the Turkish invaders who had recently arrived from the East. The Turks were not originally Muslims, but adopted Islam after arriving in the Middle East. The crusades had political as well as religious motives, and so did the Turkish expansion which eventually caused the end of the Roman Empire when Constantinople (today Istanbul) fell in 1453. The crusades were failures in every aspect, not least spiritually, and no Christian church or movement today approves of them.
