Approximately two-thirds of the ancient Christian world had been conquered by Muslims by the end of the 11th century, including the important regions of Palestine, Syria, Egypt, and Anatolia. These included the 12th and 13thcentury conquest of Muslim Al-Andalus by Spanish Christian kingdoms; 12th to 15thcentury German Northern Crusades expansion into the pagan Baltic region; the suppression of non-conformity, particularly in Languedoc during what has become called the Albigensian Crusade and for the Papacy's temporal advantage in Italy and Germany that are now known as political crusades. His death caused several thousand German soldiers to leave the force and return home. [73] In 1135, Zengi moved against Antioch and, when the Crusaders failed to put an army into the field to oppose him, he captured several important Syrian town.

[182] Latin patriarch Robert of Nantes went under safe-conduct to complete the arrangements for the ransom. He offered to surrender the kingdom of Jerusalem, less the fortresses of al-Karak and Krak de Montral, guarding the road to Egypt, in exchange for the evacuation of Egypt.

Attempts were made to control the women's behaviour in ordinances of 1147 and 1190. Concurrent military activities in the Iberian Peninsula against the Moors and in northeastern Europe against pagan West Slav, Baltic, and Finnic peoples (the Northern Crusades) have also been called crusades sometimes retroactively, long after the event had ended due to the facts that they also had central approval by the Roman Catholic Church and that the military campaigns were organized in comparable fashion, with often similar rhetoric, symbolism, and banners as applied during the campaigns in the Middle East. [241] Some of these works also provide insight into the later Crusades and Crusader states. Crusader mobilization had important implications for European state formation. The best known of these Crusades are those to the Holy Land in the period between 1095 and 1291 that were intended to recover Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Islamic rule.

[163] The force marched to Jaffa, where they completed the negotiations for a truce with Ayyubid leaders begun by Theobald just a few months prior. Most modern Crusades historians consider a combination of pluralism and popularism, which is also the focus of this article. Third, there was a new concern with a particularly intolerant form of religious purity among many Christian Europeans during and after the Crusades. A brief Battle of Constantinople in September ensued, and their defeat at the emperor's hand convinced the Germans to move quickly to Asia Minor. Clerics and laity increasingly recognised Jerusalem as worthy of penitential pilgrimage. [234] Right-wing circles in the western world have drawn opposing parallels, considering Christianity to be under an Islamic religious and demographic threat that is analogous to the situation at the time of the crusades. Negative effects of the Crusades included the repeated defeats of the Christian armies, the slaughter of innocents and the looting of Constantinople.

One effect of the Crusades was the creation of a new hero for the Islamic world: Saladin, the Kurdish sultan of Syria and Egypt, who in 1187 freed Jerusalem from the Christians but refused to massacre them as the Christians had done to the city's Muslim and Jewish citizens 90 years previously.
