The byzantine emperor was threatened by the Turks he asked pope urban the II for help. Because both have got the same aim, to set free the holy land from pagan impacts.Pope urban the II was avided, because this was his chance to do the Crusade, so he can enter Jerusalem and he can banish the Arabs.
I try to be a polite person, but is this serious, and how on earth did Answer.com allow such all around shoddy to remain on it's site. The Byzantine's (Capital just like USA and only one N, as in Nevada) were harassing the Seljuk Turks, which then controlled what had been the Eastern section of the former Roman Empire: you know, where Antony and Cleo enjoyed the fruits of the Southern Mediterranean? But things are far from that straight forward. Whereas many sources provide Pope Urban the II with a far greater impetus. Europe was slowly but surely filling up. The Roman's, i.,e., the Catholics of Italy, had no where to go. Fearing the the feuding noblemen to his East may just decide to gang up on him, the request by the Seljuk's was fortuitous.
I'm sorry friend, but religion is the single deadliest weapon in the history of the world. The 1st Crusade was declared by Urban II in Clemons, in 1033. The early consensus was that it lasted for 900 years. Recently, however this is being reevaluated, with serious Medievalists suggesting the rift between two pairs of blood thirsty religious factions continues today. Moreover, don't fool yourselves into thinking that the crusades were Holy in any way, unless the hole under consideration happened to be in a change purse. What's more, there were blood feuds brewing among the various rich and powerful brokers in the area. Many thought that this opportunity to battle could accrue them significant advantages in worldly goods. More than likely, however, Urban, not a fool, would have easily been able to interdict the European properties of those who perished in this perfidious exercise, including that of the richest man in Europe: the King of France.
