After centuries of Islamic expansion under threat of the sword, many Christian lands were under Islamic rule and oppression including the Holy Land of Jerusalem and its surroundings. The Crusaders fought to free the many oppressed Christians enslaved under Islamic rule. They also fought to reclaim the Holy Land to its rightful heritage. The brutalities of war were common to both sides of this conflict.
