Crusaders between the church and the castle

Author's name: Professor Dr. Hassan Al-Batawi

In the 11th century AD, Western Europe witnessed an agreement between the Church and a group of castle dwellers to unify their efforts in a massive war and direct it outside Europe in pursuit of several diverse and common gains. Indeed, preparations for this holy war took place in the corridors of the Church and the castle. The Church was blessed as the representative of God, and the castle fought as the staff and weapon of God. The call for this appeared at the Council of Clermont in France in November 1095. Pope Urban II announced the beginning of the holy war against the East, which is filled with honey and milk. The city of Jerusalem was the icon of the war, and their symbol was the cross. The crowds rallied under his banner, crowds of drugged and deceived by the resonant slogans. Thus, the Crusades were waged.
