Richard I was supposed to send the knights to fight the Christians but they wouldn't take any of it.
No, he sent Christians to fight. The Turks were Muslims.
Mostly knights and soldiers went on the Crusades. In the Children's Crusades (1202) England sent children to try and capture Jerusalem, but they never returned. But in most of the Crusades Knights and soldiers went with their huge armies to go and fight the Muslims so they could get Jerusalem(the Holy Land) back, and they thought that the Muslim religion was wrong.
In the third crusade Richard the lion heart was sent by the pope to win back Jerusalem from Saladin, the Muslim leader.
Crusades were decreed by Popes.
i am not quite sure, but i think they wanted knights
People died, so there were no soldiers to fight in the crusades, so the crusades fell apart. Also many soldiers returned home to find their family taken by the plague. It also broke the religious will of the soldiers. Many were fighting because they were trying to please the Pope and God. They thought God sent the plague, so He must not like the crusadce
49 000 soldiers were sent to fight in the Vietnam war.
The Crusades were important because they decided which religion (Christianity or Islam) would control the Holy land (Israel). There were tons of Crusades where many European Christian soldiers would be sent to Israel to fight the Muslims or Turks. These Christian soldiers went to Israel under the leadership of the Pope. One of the most fought over cites was Jerusalem. This city was important because the Christian Messiah Jesus Christ was born there. The first battle took place there in 1099 CE when French and English troops attacked the city. The most famous Turkish leader was Saladin the ruler of Turkey. He was a brilliant tactician who found the Crusader weaknesses and exploited them. There were many battles to come. In the end the Crusades started winding down around 1270 CE when the 8th and final Crusade took place.
