Now we know there were other reasons. Religion cannot be blamed for all the blbodshed those wars caused. \ One "other reason" was a desire {for new homes. Travelers and pil- grims had often spoken of the riches the cross on the flag. of "the east," which led many Cru- saders on toward Palestine. This was especially true of the younger son of nobles. Usually they got little land when their fathers died. They saw a chance to get land In the Crusades. It is a pity to have to say tha. the Crusaders often acted In a cruel manner. When they captured Jer- usalem, they killed gréat numbers of prisoners. It is said they even HUMAN DAL = picked UD 'Luiswscil babies anl hurled them to death, For a good many years the Chris- tians kept hold of the Holy City. News of their victory brought more and more pilgrims ' from - Europe. They setted over quite a stretch of land. Of course the Turks did not like to have the Christians around. They did. their best to drive them out of the country. 2 Bishops and priests in Europe Bee began to ask for a new 'holy war. This time -the king of France and the emperor of Germany ana Italy took part. It was then 43 years after the first Crusade. Two hundred thousand Christians are said to have died in the second Crusade, Jerusalem still held out against the enemy, who had several names: the Turks, the Saracens, the Moham- medans, the Mussulmans and the Moselms. We shall speak of them as Turks and Saracens, The most famous leader of the Saracens was called Saladin. He gained power over Egypt, then began to try to capture Jerulasem. The prayers and swords of the Christians did not save the city. Jerusalem became once more a Sara- cen stronghold. A few cities near the sea were about all the Christians had left af- ter that, ~------ MONEY AT WORK Brief but Important Lessons Im Finauce, Markets, Stocks, Beads and Investments ANY.
