The third crusade was a holy war over Jerusalem between the Christians and the Muslims. It was a way to right your wrong and grab a place in heaven. And after Pope Urban the second gave a speech that affected thousands, the march to fight in Jerusalem begun



. ​The Fourth Crusade The fourth crusades began when Pope Innocent asked leader of Europe to help him overthrow Jerusalem from the Ayyubids. They thought that since there leader Saladin had died that his successors would be weaker and it would be a easy job. So they formed a plan to take over Jerusalem from the south except from the north. And with that plan to battle for Jerusalem was underway to happen once.

The Childerns As the 4th crusade ended, it was clear that the knights conquer and hold on to Jerusalem. So one day a young boy by the name of Stephen of Cloyes, decided that if full grown men couldn’t take back the holy land, maybe so kids could. The Turks would never see an attack from some defenseless, runny nosed kids. So Stephen convinced 15,000 to 30,000 kids to join him to march to Mediterranean. And walk into the Holy Land like its there own. [|More Info] Word Cited //The First Crusade//. "Middle Ages. Web. 26 Apr. 2010. <[]‌cru2.htm>. "The Second Crusade." //Middle Ages//.
