14. The Origins of The Crusades
Alexius idea was to gain a powerful army to bring Jerusalem and the Holy Land back under Christian control from the Seljuks
Needed the help of Rome to aid his cause
Alexius sent ambassadors to Rome outlining his idea to Urban II, the Pope, asking for their military assistance
In case the people were not persuaded by the Pope, he granted for men that fought in this army, a free ticket to heaven.
For people not fighting with this army, Urban threatened them.
Urban's speech was received well and created two armies
Several men, including a monk known as Peter the Hermit and a soldier called Walter the Penniless spread the word/speech of Urban to the lower class

Urban was quickly to say yes where he urged the other church leaders to agree. He was deeply concerned for the future of Christianity and also believed that Christians had a moral duty to fight the Muslims, to reclaim the Holy Land.
Then Urban made a speech to his followers, the Christians, and said the only way to right the wrong was through violence. He instructed the Christians to form a massive army that would sweep down on the Muslim enemy and defeat the menace once and for all.
This meant that anyone to lose there life on the way by land, or in crossing the sea, or in fighting the Pagans; all their wrongs that they have done would be forgiven. Then they would be able to go into heaven.
But the sick and the old did not have to fight in the army.
An army of upper classmen was formed like he wanted. There also was an army of lower class because everyone who died in the battle went to heaven. This was much better than there life before because of recent floods, droughts, and famines and most of all the life of a lower classmen was extremely difficult.
