    CRUSADES

    •The Crusades were a series of religious wars between


    Christians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of
    holy sites considered sacred by both groups. In all, eight major
    Crusade expeditions occurred between 1096 and 1291. The
    bloody, violent and often ruthless conflicts propelled the status
    of European Christians, making them major players in the fight
    for land in the Middle East
    •The First Crusade was the first of a series of religious wars
    initiated, supported, and at times directed by the Latin Church
    in the medieval period. The initial objective was the recovery of
    the Holy Land from Islamic rule. These campaigns were
    subsequently given the name crusades.
    •The Second Crusade was the second major crusade launched from
    Europe. The Second Crusade was started in response to the fall of the
    County of Edessa in 1144 to the forces of Zengi. The county had been
    founded during the First Crusade by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem in
    1098
    •The Third Crusade was an attempt
    by three European monarchs of the
    Western Christianity to reconquer
    the Holy Land following the
    capture of Jerusalem by the
    Ayyubid sultan Saladin in 1187. For
    this reason, the Third Crusade is
    also known as the Kings' Crusade.
    •The Fourth Crusade (1202–1204) was a Latin Christian armed
    expedition called by Pope Innocent III. The stated intent of the
    expedition was to recapture the Muslim-controlled city of
    Jerusalem, by first conquering the powerful Egyptian Ayyubid
    Sultanate, the strongest Muslim state of the time.
    •The Fifth Crusade was an attempt by Western Europeans to reacquire
    Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land by first conquering Cairo, the
    capital of the powerful Ayyubid state in Egypt.
    •The Sixth Crusade, commonly known as the Crusade of
    Frederick II, was a military expedition to recapture the city of
    Jerusalem. It began seven years after the failure of the Fifth
    Crusade and involved very little actual fighting.
    •The Seventh Crusade was a crusade led by Louis IX of France from
    1248 to 1254. Louis' Christian army was defeated by the Ayyubid army
    led by Fakhr al-Din ibn Shaykh al-Shuyukh and their allies, the
    Bahriyya Mamluks, led by Faris ad-Din Aktai, Baibars al-Bunduqdari,
    Qutuz, Aybak and Qalawun.
    •The Eighth Crusade was a crusade launched by Louis of France
    against the Hafsid dynasty in 1270. The Eighth Crusade is sometimes
    counted as the Seventh, if the Fifth and Sixth Crusades of Frederick II
    are counted as a single crusade. The Ninth Crusade is sometimes also
    counted as part of the Eighth.
