Kings and Popes... I believe. (:
the crusades happened because a lot of poius people that believed that they were better than anyone else went to `liberate' a perfectly happy country.
The Crusades happened almost a thousand years ago-why do they still provoke an argument? Osama bin Laden has used them to attempt to rally the Islamic world to his cause; President Bush has called the war on terrorism a "crusade." But what is the truth about the Crusades? Were they motivated by savage greed and intolerance or by pious idealism? Were they an unprovoked attack by the West on the Islamic world or a reaction to centuries of Islamic incursions? How should we understand the legacy of the Crusades today, in a time of conflict between the West and radical Islamic terrorists?
True
the third crusades was called the king's crusades, because they had favor in the king's eyes.
An increase in the power of popes..
The Popes claimed God sanctioned the Crusades.
Crusades were decreed by Popes.
The popes promised the crusaders that they would go to Heaven if they fought in the crusades

the popes had more power over the kings
The popes tried to drag them on as a show of power, and the goal of taking over that area was not yet completed. In fact, it failed at the end.
The crusades started in 1095 and ended in 1291. They led to the decline of Feudalism.
The Crusades.
Trade between Europe and Asia grew. Crusaders brought ideas of Muslim thinkers to Europe. The power of the European kings grew at the expense of nobles, knights, and popes
Northern Crusades happened in 12##.
The Christian's did not believe what the Muslims believed in. THIS STARTED THE CRUSADES.
