About this listen
The crusading movement was launched by Pope Urban II, in 1095 in a speech before a great concourse of 250 bishops, 400 abbots, many feudal lords and knights, and a multitude of the people at a council at Clermont-Farrand in south central France. Many crusades followed the first. Edessa, Antioch, and the County of Tripoli were established, but all became part of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which extended its frontier south to the Red Sea. The European presence was not to last, however, and was ended by the Kurdish warrior Saladin.
