14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

The Catholic Church underwent reform and launched Crusades

against Muslims.

Page 2: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

The Age of Faith

• Spiritual Revival– Starting in the 900s,

monasteries help bring about a spiritual revival

– Reformers help restore and expand Church power

Founded in 910, this is the Benedictine Abbey of Cluny as it looked in 2004.

Coat of Arms of Cluny Abbey: "Gules two keys in saltire the wards upwards and outwards or overall a sword in pale argent".

Problems in the Church• Some Church officials

marry even though the Church objects

• Some officials practice simony—selling religious offices

• Kings use lay investiture to appoint bishops

• Reformers believe only the Church should appoint bishops

Reform and Church Organization

• Starting in the 1100s, popes reorganize the Church like a kingdom

• Pope’s advisors make Church laws; diplomats travel throughout Europe

• Church collects tithes; uses money to care for sick or poor

“Peasants paying tithes” (17th century) school of Pieter Brueghel the Younger

Cathedrals—Cities of God• Early Cathedrals

– Between 800-1100, churches are built in Romanesque style

– Style includes thick walls and pillars, small windows, round arches

Romanesque

Page 11: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

A New Style of Church Architecture

• Gothic style evolves around 1100; term from Germanic tribe, Goths

• Gothic style has large, tall windows for more light; pointed arches

• Churches have stained glass windows, many sculptures

• About 500 Gothic churches are built from 1170 to 1270

Page 12: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

Cathedrals = City of Gods

Romanesque

Gothic (1100s -1300)

• Round arches• Heavy roof• Thick walls and pillars• Tiny little windows that

allowed little light inside

• Goths = Germanic tribe name• Thrust upward as if reaching

toward heaven• Huge stained-glass windows• Pointed arches & ribbed vaulted

ceiling• Tall spires & flying buttresses

800-1100

Gothic Architecture

The master builders in France, where the Gothic style originated, developed techniques of structural engineering that were key to Gothic architecture:

1. ribbed vaults that supported the roof’s weight

2. flying buttresses that transferred weight to thick, exterior walls

3. pointed arches that framed huge stained glass windows

4. tall spires that seemed to be pointing to heaven

Typical “Chancel” Layout

“Liturgical East”Notice that the “apse” is “fenced off” by a communion rail. Only the clergy attending the altar or table are allowed past this point. The sacrament is dispensed only through the clergy bringing it to the rail.

The Crusades: The Beginning

• In 1093, Byzantine emperor asks for help fighting the Turks

• Pope Urban II issues a call for a Crusade—a “holy war”

Page 22: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

Goals of the Crusades• Pope wants to reclaim Jerusalem and reunite Christianity• Kings use Crusades to send away knights who cause

trouble• Younger sons hope to earn land or win glory by fighting

(although historian Rodney Stark in God’s Battalions: The Case for the Crusades disagrees with that theory because the first three crusades were led by the heads of the royal families of Europe).

• Later, merchants join Crusades to try to gain wealth through trade.

Page 23: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

First Crusade: 1096-1099• Pope promises Crusaders

who die a place in heaven• First Crusade: three

armies gather at Constantinople in 1097

Page 24: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

The Third Crusade: 1189-1192

Page 26: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

The Third Crusade : 1189-1192• One is Richard

the Lion-Hearted—king of England

• The Robin Hood stories and legends often surround Richard I returning from the Third Crusade. 19th-century

The Third Crusade: 1189-1192

• Saladin keeps Jerusalem but allows Christian pilgrims to enter the city

Page 30: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

The Crusading Spirit Dwindles:The Later Crusades

• Fourth Crusade (1200-1204)– Crusaders sack the Christian

city Zara and are excommunicated by the pope for it.

– The Venetian leadership keeps their excommunication a secret. Then Crusaders sack Constantinople in 1204

• Two other Crusades strike Egypt, but fail to weaken the Muslims

The Children’s Crusade

• The traditional story says that in 1212 thousands of children possibly die or are enslaved in a failed crusade.

• But these stories are surrounded by legend and fiction. The fact that this really happened is disputed.

The Children’s Crusade by Gustave Doré• This event may very well

merely be a legend embellished over time.

Page 33: 14.1 Church Reform and the Crusades

Two Stories about the Children’s Crusade

• Leader: Nicholas• Country: Germany• Purpose: intended to lead a crusade to

convert the Muslims to Christianity by the preaching of children. Nicholas promised a miracle that the waters of the Mediterranean would divide so they could walk to the Holy Land.

• Result: A following of about 7,000 people, both adults and children arrive in Genoa, Italy after preaching a crusade throughout Germany and crossing the Alps. The waters did not divide. The movement continues to Rome but begins to break up. The Pope instructs the group to return home. Nicholas does not survive the return home.

• Leader: Stephen• Country: France• Purpose: He claims Jesus

appeared to him and gave him a letter for the king of France.

• Result: Phillip II, king of France is unimpressed. Stephen, however, continues to preach and tries to lead a group to Marseilles. It seems like many surviving youths returned to their families.

A Spanish Crusade

• Most of Spain controlled by Moors, a Muslim people

• Christians fight Reconquista—drive Muslims from Spain, 1100-1492

• Spain has Inquisition—court to suppress heresy; expels non-Christians

The Effects of the Crusades

• Crusades show power of Church in convincing thousands to fight

• Women who stay home manage the estate and business affairs

• Merchants expand trade, bring back many goods from Southwest Asia

• Failure of later crusades weakens pope and nobles, strengthens kings

• Crusades create lasting bitterness between Muslims and Christians
