Call for the Crusades

9. Pope Urban II’s Call for the Crusades
“Beloved brothers, I speak as a messenger to reveal to you God’s will. We cannot refuse at once to give the help we have promised to our brothers in the East. They now need it desperately. The Turks and Arabs have attacked them and advanced into Romania…
… They have beaten the Christians seven times in battle, have killed and captured a large number of them, have wrecked their churches and laid waste to their land. If we do not go to help, the true servants of God in the East will not be able to survive.
I therefore urge and beg you who are the voices of Christ, both rich and poor, to drive the foul vermin (pests) from the lands where your Christian brothers live and to bring speedy help to the worshippers of Christ … Promise your support without delay. Let the warriors get ready and find what they need to pay for the journey. When the spring comes let them leave in good spirit under the banner of the Lord.”
