Pope Urban II and the Call for the First Crusade

Send us a text!In November of 1095, at the height of the Muslim invasion, Pope Urban II spoke from a platform outside the French city of Claremont, surrounded by an enormous crowd. There he roused noble knights and lords to defend Constantinople from a Muslim invasion and called them to retake Jerusalem for Christendom. In this episode, we talk about the men who answered the call, from Godfrey of Bouillon to Raymond of Toulouse. We'll discuss the People's Crusade, led by Peter the Hermit and Walter the Penniless, and the Princes' Crusade, led by men such as Godfrey. We'll also talk about why people today, from Bill Clinton to Barak Obama to Karen Armstrong, claim that the Crusades were an atrocity against Islam.
