Why did people go on Crusades? The Muslims have been destroying Churches. Criminals and robbers went as a punishment.

Some went to claim land for themselves. Some went because they did not want their Holy

Land being taken over by Muslims.

Some went because lots of people from their

villages were going.

Some went to bring back spices and riches to sell.

Some went to impress the ladies. Muslims had been killing fellow Christians.

Pope Urban II had made speeches that encouraged

people to go.

Some went to get their sins forgiven.

People were told that if they went on Crusade and

took up the cross, they would automatically get a

place in Heaven.

Some were professional Knights and were excited

by the thought of fighting.

Some felt it was their duty to go.

Many were excited to see and experience the

world. 3

1095, Pope Urban II promised the knights of Europe forgiveness of their sins if they went on a

Crusade to win back Jerusalem for Christianity. Many responded by "taking the cross" and showed this act by cutting out red crosses before sewing them into

their tunics.
