After the Crusades, the Pope's power began to decline due to several factors. The failed military campaigns and the increasing autonomy of local rulers diminished the papacy's influence over political matters. Additionally, the rise of nation-states and the growing power of monarchs led to a shift in authority away from the Church. This loss of power was further exacerbated by internal conflicts within the Church and the emergence of reform movements that challenged papal authority.
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 map shows the routes taken during the Crusades, a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The motivation for the Crusades was primarily religious, as Christians sought to reclaim the Holy Land (Jerusalem and other sacred sites) from Muslim control. The map illustrates the desire to establish Christian dominance in the region and the belief that reclaiming these territories was a holy duty. Additionally, the Crusades were also driven by political and economic factors, such as the desire for power, wealth, and land.

The Crusades significantly enhanced the power and influence of monarchs and popes in medieval Europe. Monarchs, by leading or supporting the Crusades, could consolidate power, gain prestige, and unify their realms under a common cause, often increasing their control over noble factions. Meanwhile, popes strengthened their spiritual authority and political influence by positioning themselves as leaders of Christendom, promoting the idea of holy war, and fostering a sense of unity among Christians. However, the Crusades also led to tensions between secular rulers and the papacy, as both sought to assert their dominance in the religious and political spheres.
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.
The crusades started in 1095 and ended in 1291. They led to the decline of Feudalism.
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##.
