Where did the Crusaders come from?

Information about The Crusades The Crusades: A series of Holy wars between the Europeans and the Muslims Why?: To gain control of the Holy Land. The Seljuk Turks took over the Holy Land and killed any Christian pilgrim that tried to pray in Jerusalem. The Europeans also wanted control of the trade routes. Outcomes: Many people on both sides died and the Europeans failed to gain the Holy Land. But the Turks from now on let the pilgrims pass without a problem with respect for their king. The Crusaders brought back goods (silk, rugs, jewels, food, and ideas) from the Middle East and they became popular in Europe. Merchants became richer and moved out of manors to start their own towns and cities. Peasants bought their freedom (some) and Feudalism grew much weaker.
