Did the Crusades contribute to the conflict between secular and ecclesiastical power?
Yes and no. Simply put, the Vatican told Christendom to get together armies. Expensive, large, unwieldy armies. But, they did so. It cost a lot of money, and detracted from Europe. But they believed they were doing it for the best, and were *very* glad to participate. You've even got people like Peter the Hermit and the People's Crusade, who weren't even ordered to go, but got 50,000 people together to go off and fight. You had military groups going to fight for personal gain. It got rid of a lot of people that Europe really didn't need around. Right now, for instance, I wish the population of Muslims and Christians in the US would pick up swords and start to kill each other off. That *was,* despite my cynicism, a factor. Less people was often a good thing. So, they even got some benefit out of their HUGE investment in capital. Eventually they decided such a far away place wasn't worth it, and gave up. About 12 times after that.
