The document provides background on the First Crusade. It summarizes that Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade in 1095 with a speech calling on Catholics to take up arms against Muslims in order to reconquer the Holy Land. This sparked a massive mobilization of over 100,000 men and women from across Europe to fight in the crusade.
