Crusade

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns during the time of Medieval England

against the Muslims of the Middle East

 In 1076, the Muslims had captured  Jerusalem  – the most holy of holy places for Christians.

Jesus had been born in nearby Bethlehem and Jesus had spent most of his life in Jerusalem.

He was crucified on Calvary Hill, also in Jerusalem.

There was no more important place on Earth

than Jerusalem

for a true Christian which is why Christians called Jerusalem the “City of God”.
