The document discusses the Christian crusaders who fought in religious wars between the 11th-17th centuries primarily against Muslims for control of Jerusalem. Crusaders participated for various reasons, including for the Pope to assert authority over the church, for emperors to regain lost territories, for knights to defend Christianity, and for ordinary citizens and merchants to gain prestige, tax exemptions, and trade. The first crusade in 1099 was initially successful in conquering Jerusalem, though subsequent crusades were less so, as different factions had diverging goals for participating in the religious campaigns.
