The crusaders
Ostensibly, the Crusaders invaded the Middle East to recapture the Holy Land.
The Crusaders were the Christians. That was the whole point. They were going to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims.
Muslim Invaders? Lie. Christian Crusaders tried taking the holyland, not the other way around. But they were called Crusaders, since they Crusaded to the Holy Land.
The Crusaders were the attacking religiously sanctioned groups in the Crusades. The Crusaders were mostly made up of Franks from medieval France and the Holy Roman Empire. They were trying to restore Christian authority in the Holy Land.
the holy land
The crusaders who were the Peasant crusaders in 1096 and the Noble crusaders in 1097 wanted to re- capture the Holy Land which was important to them, as they were Christians. The Peasant crusaders failed, so the Nobles had to step up and take back the Holy Land.
The holy land. The Christian crusaders wanted to take control of Jerusalem because it contained many religious landmarks.
to retake the holy land
They didn't exactly 'attack Palestine'. The mission of the Christian Crusaders was torescue the Holy Land from the hands of whoever was there and was not Christian.They generally slaughtered any Muslims and Jews they met on the way.
The Crusaders wore chainmail armor, helmets, and carried shields during their campaigns in the Holy Land. They also wore tunics with the symbol of the cross to identify themselves as Crusaders.
The Crusaders, who were predominantly Christian knights from Western Europe, were the first Christians to fight against Muslims for control of the Holy Land during the Crusades in the 11th to 13th centuries.
