Deus Vult! (God wills it!) This wasn't just a battle cry - it was the launch of the Crusades! Join us as we delve into the First Crusade, a complex clash of religion, politics, and the fight for Jerusalem. Pope Urban II's fiery speech ignited a wave of fervor across Europe, sending knights, peasants, and even priests on a perilous journey to the Holy Land. But what exactly motivated them? Was it pure religious zeal or something more? We'll explore the hardships they faced, the brutal siege of Jerusalem, and the lasting impact of this first chapter in the Crusades saga.
