Pope Urban II was proposed as pope by the College of Cardinals, which is the body of senior church officials responsible for electing the pope. He was elected on March 12, 1088, following the death of Pope Gregory VII. Urban II is best known for initiating the First Crusade in 1095. His call to arms aimed to reclaim Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control.
