Peter the

poor
peasants as
Crusaders.
After
assembling
over 30,000
townspeopl
e, Peter led
his group to
the Holy
Land,
massacring
the Jews
whom they
encountered
. The
peasant
Crusaders
were
attacked by
the Bulgars;
the
remnants of
the army
reached
Constantino
ple and
transported
across the
Bosporus.
After
landing in
Asia Minor,
the Turks
who
attacked
them sold
the
Crusaders
into slavery
and
massacred
them.

In 1146,
Bernard of
Clairvaux
offered a large
group of
knights
protection
under the
Church,
freedom from
debt, and
forgiveness of
sins and
absolution in
exchange for

Richard sieged Acre, but could not
allowing them
recapture Jerusalem. In 1192 Richard
passage if they,
and Saladin agreed to a treaty allowing
in return would
Christians pilgrims access to
capture the
Jerusalem.
Venetian enemy
Fracture between England and France city of Zara. This
attack
that started here is what caused an
complicated
almost 100 year war
things because it
was a Christian
city and the
confusion led to
an attack on
Constantinople.
Constantinople
fell for the first
time in history
and the
Crusaders gained
tons of wealth.
Even after the
Byzantines
reclaimed
Constantinople
they could not
uphold the huge
city and in 1453
the Ottoman
Turks took over
the city. Lastly,
the effects of the
fourth crusade
were more issues
between the
Greek and Latin
churches.
