The people in Europe all had one thing that was in common with every person, this was that they all were Christian and it was one of the most important things that were on earth. There leader on earth was the pope!
WHY DID PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO JERUSALEM
People wanted to go because Jerusalem is the place where Jesus had lived for a long time and he had been buried and crucified there too. The people in the towns wanted to tell people and just know that they had been to the most important city on earth (yes Jerusalem was the most important city on earth.) The travelers were known as pilgrims. These people enjoyed going to places that linked to Jesus life, this area became known as the 'Holy Land'.
This Place was very important to Muslims too. Their great leader 'Prophet Muhammad' It was said that he vested Heaven from Jerusalem. When The 1070s came along Arab Muslims controlled the holy Land. Every thing was at peace the Christians could come to visit any time they'd like. Jerusalem was a very beautiful happy city but this were about to change, big time.
