Pope Urban II called the Europeans to the First Crusade. This happened in 1096 in the city of Clermont. The official reason was the appeal of the Byzantine government for help in the struggle against the Seljuks and the liberation of the Holy Sepulcher.
But the Europeans also had other interests: land, wealth, power, fame.
As a result of the I Crusade in the east, the county and kingdom of the Crusaders were formed: Jerusalem, Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli.
