Seljuk Turks
The Seljuk Turks- they were Muslims that took over the "Holy Land" - Jerusalem.
The Pope accused the Seljuk Turks of invading Christian territories, desecrating holy sites, and persecuting Christian pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. He called for a Christian military expedition to restore access to the holy land, leading to the First Crusade.
Pope Urban II called for the First Crusade. The purpose was to save Constantinople from the Seljuk Turks, but the goal quickly became the capture of Jerusalem and other sites holy to Christians.
The Seljuk Turks were in control of Jerusalem, commonly referred to as the Holy Land, in 1095. Abu Nasr Shams al-Muluk Duqaq was the local Seljuk ruler in charge of Jerusalem in 1095. The First Crusade was mounted to wrest control of Jerusalem from the Turks in 1095.
Pope Urban II describes the Seljuk Turks as a ruthless and barbaric force threatening Christendom. He portrays them as oppressors who have taken control of Jerusalem and are committing atrocities against Christians. His depiction aims to rally support for the First Crusade by emphasizing the need to reclaim holy lands and protect fellow Christians from these invaders. The urgency in his rhetoric seeks to unify and motivate Western Christians to take action against the perceived threat.
Nothing. They won it from the Fatimids who were also an Islamic Dynasty. During this period, the Holy Land was a backwater region and was generally neglected.
