Late in the 11th Century, the Byzantine emperor in Constantinople appealed to the Roman Catholic Church for military aid against the Moslem Turks. The Church was willing to help in that the Turks threatened Greek Orthodox Christianity and because Muslims controlled Palestine and molested Christians in the Holy Land. Pope Urban II called for at the Council of Clermont in 1095 to declare a holy war to retake the Holy Land from the Muslims.
Pope Urban II called for crusade to liberate Jerusalem in 1095. Armies left Europe in 1096 and crusade ended with capture of Jerusalem in 1099.
