Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the Council of Clermont in 1095, Pope Urban II called for a Crusade to recapture the Holy Land from the Muslims. He promised remissions of sins for those who joined the Crusades, which was a powerful motivator for people looking to earn salvation. Peter the Hermit was a popular preacher who helped to spread the message of the Crusades, but he was not appointed as the leader. The idea of destroying Jewish settlements was not part of Pope Urban II's call for the Crusades, although unfortunately violence against Jewish communities did occur during the First Crusade.
