Byzantine Appeals

In this podcast Professor Jonathan Riley-Smith gives an outline of events and causes of the First Crusade.

1. Outline of Events and Causes: Byzantine Appeals & Jerusalem.
2. The response in the West: the desire to unite the churches & the Gregorian reform movement.
3. Renewal and Liberation: a crusade to liberate the Eastern Church, a penitential and voluntary war.
4. Voluntary crusaders: the consequences of making the crusade a pilgrimage, enthusiasm and persecution.
5. How did people respond? Landowner motives for going to war. The liberation of a place: Jerusalem. Women, the holy sepulchre & relic snatching.
6. Remission of sins after years of terrible violence in western Europe.
7. The financial burden of going to war.
