There were also secular Crusades made up of nobles and soldiers who paid by selling their property and titles Eastward expedition The cost required.
From the 12th century, around the time of the First Crusade, literary poetry flourished in the form of memoirs and songs. After the silence of the Dark Ages (5th to 9th centuries), the development and proliferation of Crusader epics has been referred to by some scholars as the "revival of the 12th century".
Many did not return to Europe at all, and those who remained established military, cultural and commercial outposts in the Holy Land. The forts they built after the first crusade were often in Europe Feudal system The transplant. But over time, contact with the numerous libraries of the Arab world opened up whole new worlds for Europe's closed scholars, who came to see what was useful Arabic Preserved for centuries Ancient Greek The ancient books. Economic and cultural exchanges are accompanied by violent interactions. In a way, the Crusades played a positive role in spreading knowledge.
The Crusades also brought together European travelers and merchants with the developing world. right The Middle East The growing demand for luxury goods meant that Europe had to offer its own goods in exchange, thus promoting European wool and Textile industry The development of... The end of the Crusades and the Latin kingdoms of the Middle East meant the acquisition Asia Trade goods More difficult, but not less demand. some historian It is speculated that the closure of the Middle East to European traders in the 15th century accelerated the pace of navigational exploration and eventually led to the discovery of the New World.
"The Crusades give us a historical memory that still lingers in our time, a memory of a long European offensive," said Akbar Ahmed, director of the Center for Islamic Studies at the American University in Washington. The impact was profound: the conquest and its destruction had shaken the Islamic world and the confidence of Muslims in what was then perhaps the most powerful and dynamic Muslim civilization on earth; For Europe, the Crusades were a starting point, propelling the continent from a dark era of isolation to the open modern world.
The legacy of the Crusades, in addition to new enmity between Christians and Muslims and the deterioration of the feudal system, also exposed new cultures. New words were added to European languages after the war, for example cotton (cotton), muslin (muslin), divan (muslin) Sofa bed ) and bazaar. Europeans also brought back many novel textiles, foods, and spices. The demand for these fresh goods accelerated the trading activity of the commercial city-states of Italy (especially Genoa and Venice ) and thus developed. This demand prompted the Age of Discovery, which began in the fourteenth century. The crusaders brought back gold and silver and added to the local treasures Money supply And vigorously promote economic growth.

Knights Hospitaller slogan "Defend the faith, help the suffering!" Defence of the faith and assistance to the suffering.

The Teutonic Knights

So it's often called the Teutonic Knights, and the early members were all from German nation After submitting to Poland, the Order was forced to accept the Poles." , and The Knights Templar Together with the Knights Hospitaller The three Orders of Knights . The slogan of the Teutonic Knights was "Helfen, Heilen, Wehren" (Help, heal, guard).
The Third Crusade During the period (1189-1192), knights from the German region were given land and castles on several occasions. (From Count Henri of Champagne, April 1195 Till (Tyre, today Lebanon In March 1196, he was given a fief at Jaffa (near present-day Tel Aviv). Another Kaiser Henry VI In 1197, he gave churches, monasteries and hospitals to Italy and Sicily, and gradually formed a force in the Jerusalem area.
On March 5, 1198, the Teutonic Order was founded in what is now Acre Palestine It was then based in Acre until 1291.
On September 19, 1199, Pope Innocent the Third Give orders, make rules Teutonic knight The beatles Templar The same cloak (a white cloak with a Red Cross and sword embroidered on it), wearing a black cross and carrying out the same order rules as the Hospitallers.

In 1129, the Knights Templar gained Holy See Formally supported, with many privileges, it rapidly grew in size, power and wealth, and even developed the earliest Banking industry .
The fate of the Knights Templar and the Crusaders is closely linked. In 1291, when the Holy Land fell, they lost their base and eventually became victims of Philip IV's financial problems. In 1307, many of its members were arrested in France, brutally tried and convicted of heresy Death by fire .
1312, the Pope Clement V Under pressure from Philip IV, the Knights Templar were dissolved. This religious and military organization, active for nearly two centuries, has since disappeared in major parts of Europe tragic The outcome has spawned many related legends and literary works.
Another movement led by Cloyes (located today The province of El-Loire ) was led by the herdsman Etienne. In June, he claimed to have a letter from Jesus to the king of France. Thirty thousand people followed him to Saint-Denis (now a northern suburb of Paris) to witness his miracles. On the advice of the University of Paris, King Philip II of France ordered the crowd to be dispersed. Contemporary accounts make no mention of any intention to set out for Jerusalem.
