- The Crusades were a series of conflicts fought in and around Palestine in at least the 12th and 13th centuries. The principal aim of the crusades was for European Christian forces to retake control of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim occupation, as well as campaigns against other races and religions.

- The Crusades was a series of military conflicts in Earth's Middle Ages. One of the primary reasons for these conflicts was over religious differences between members of the Christian faith against Muslims and others. Originally the crusades were intended to recapture Jerusalem and other territories - which over the centuries had come into Muslim hands. The first crusade was held in the late 11th century, from 1094 to 1099. For the next two centuries there was an entire series of crusades.
- The Crusades are a series of sanctioned military campaigns, defensive in nature, waged by alliances of the Grey Sphere, particularly the Holy Roman Empire. The campaigns began in response to overwhelming attacks on Grey nations and alliances by "Rogues". Because the rogues can't be sanctioned by the Grey they attack often, targeting weaker nations. The Grey alliances began fighting back; in late 2010 when Emperor Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire declared a "Crusade" against the rogues to protect the citizens of the Grey sphere, a joint effort began to form. They received support from the other Grey alliances and thus the campaigns began. Mostly in defensive fashion, the campaigns attempt to overwhelm the rogues as much as possible to try and divert them from attacking any further. Unli
- The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and were launched in response to a call from the Christian Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk Turks into Anatolia. The term is also used to describe contemporaneous and subsequent campaigns conducted through to the 16th century in territories outside the Levant usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade.
- The Crusades against Araby, more commonly known as the Great Crusades or simply as the Crusades refers to a three-year long military campaign launched by the Knights of Bretonnia and the Knights of the Empire in order to free the distant Kingdom of Estalia from the enslavement of the Araby invaders of Sultan Jaffar. The King of Bretonnia, Louis the Righteous, raised a huge army of knights to free Estalia and punish Jaffar for the atrocities they have committed. Glory-hungry knights from all across Bretonnia joined the King's banners in what would become the first of a series of Crusades all across the known world. While this splendid army marched on Estalia, distant lands have lended reinforcements to these brave Knights, such as the warships of Tilea.

Urban II sought to reunite the Christian church under his leadership by providing Emperor Alexios I with military support. Several hundred thousand soldiers became Crusaders by taking vows and by receiving plenary indulgences. These crusaders were Christians from all over Western Europe under feudal rather than unified command, and the politics were often complicated to the point of intra-faith competition leading to alliances between combatants of different faiths against their coreligionists, such as the Christian alliance with the Islamic Sultanate of Rûm during the Fifth Crusade. The impact of the Crusades was profound. Jonathan Riley-Smith identifies the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Crusader States as the first experiments in “Europe Overseas”. These ventures reopened the Mediterranean to trade and travel, enabling Genoa and Venice to flourish. The collective identity of the Latin Church was consolidated under the Pope’s leadership. The Crusades were the source of heroism, chivalry, and medieval piety that spawned medieval romance, philosophy, and literature. However, they reinforced the nexus between Western Christendom, feudalism, and militarism that ran counter to the Peace and Truce of God that Urban had promoted. The chance of ending the East–West Schism and reuniting the church was ended by the conflict between the Latin Crusaders and the Orthodox Christians, leading to the ultimate weakening and fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Ottomans. The conduct of the Crusaders was shocking not only to modern sensibilities but also to a contemporary of the First Crusade, Bernard of Clairvaux. The Crusaders pillaged the countries in transit, living off the land, as did all transiting armies of the time. The First Crusade resulted in the massacre of 8,000 Jews in the Rhineland in the first of Europe's pogroms. It also resulted in the slaughter of a purported 70,000 citizens in the fall of Jerusalem. The nobles carved up the territory that they had gained rather than return it to the Byzantines, as they had vowed to do. The Fourth Crusade resulted in the sacking of Constantinople. The majority of crusaders, however, were poor people trying to escape the hardships of medieval life in an armed pilgrimage leading to Apotheosis at Jerusalem.

At some later time, after recovering from his injury, he returned to Europe. He may have been on his way back to Brabant when he stopped in Paris and met Janette DuCharme, who not only found him physically attractive, but also fascinatingly disillusioned and ripe for seduction, both sexual and spiritual. The crusader had no way of knowing that she was a vampire, nor that, when she introduced him to her master, LaCroix, he would offer him an immortality that would take from him his humanity.

Unlike most military conflicts on Planet Bob, this one is not one single conflict or war but a number conflicts, thus it cannot be defined as a single war. Throughout 2011 the "Rouges" gained a major advantage on the Grey sphere. The Holy Roman Empire fell apart and the Grey Council's efforts began to appear pointless. When the New Grey Order formed and began taking part in anti rogue campaigns in late 2011 things began to turn around in the conflict, though the NGO ultimately collapsed by the start of 2012.

While this splendid army marched on Estalia, distant lands have lended reinforcements to these brave Knights, such as the warships of Tilea. The scale of this campaign had resulted in the the largest congregation of Knights in known history, which would eventually lead to the creation of many of the Empire's Knightly Orders. Such is the zeal that these Knights have brought upon the Arabians, that the cities of their nation were torn down, their populations slaughtered, and their once great Sultan killed in the final battle that saw the true end of the war. Many Bretonnians have kept this part of their history as one of the greatest victories of their time.

Saladin was a Muslim general whose forces recaptured Jerusalem from the crusaders in the 12th century. Approximately 1000 years after his death, Starfleet named the Saladin-class starships after him. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual) Q once remarked to Vash that he thought Earth was a much more fun place during the Crusades period in history. (DS9 episode: "Q-Less") In 2370, Jake Sisko studied the Crusades in school, particularly the First, Second and Third Crusades. (DS9 novel: Arcade) Captain Kathryn Janeway discovered that Fury society was ordered similarly to those in existence on Earth during the time of the crusades. (VOY novel: The Final Fury) When the Hirogen captured USS Voyager, they used the ship's holodecks to study the races of the United Federation of Planets, whom they considered prey. One of the early simulations was one that took place during the crusades on Earth. The Doctor remarked to Seven of Nine that she should've seen herself after being injured in the crusades simulation.

Well historically speaking, The Crusades was a specific time when Catholic Europeans were encouraged to emigrate to the Middle East and found a new nation dedicated to the Christian saviour. They took at least nine attempts to do this but were an eventual failure. Still hasn't stopped other people using this description to throw a silk mantle over their pet causes.

(TV: The Crusade) During the Third Crusade, the first Lord Warren battled the Quell and met the Fourth Doctor and Romana. (AUDIO: The Warren Legacy) When the Doctor's fifth incarnation arrived in England on 4 March 1215, he determined that an imposter had taken the place of King John, since the real King was known to be in London taking the Crusader's Oath on that very day. The Doctor's suspicions were confirmed when he met Sir Geoffrey de Lacy, who had arrived from London and was perplexed as to how the King could be in the capital yet in the countryside at the same time.

The Crusades had far-reaching political, economic, and social impacts, some of which have lasted into contemporary times. Because of internal conflicts among Christian kingdoms and political powers, some of the crusade expeditions were diverted from their original aim, such as the Fourth Crusade, which resulted in the sack of Christian Constantinople and the partition of the Byzantine Empire between Venice and the Crusaders. The Sixth Crusade was the first crusade to set sail without the official blessing of the Pope. The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Crusades resulted in Mamluk and Hafsid victories, as the Ninth Crusade marked the end of the Crusades in the Middle East. __TOC__
