The Crusades

The Franks were a part of the Crusades which is my reasoning for interviewing a few of them. My first question was who were involved in the crusades? They responded "The crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns waged by much of Roman Catholic Europe, Particularly the Franks of France and the Holy Roman Empire." My next question was, what was the point of the crusades? The Franks responded "The specific crusades to restore Christian control of the Holy Land were fought over a period of nearly 200 years, between 1095 and 1291. My final question was, who were the main fighters in the crusades? what i learned is that the crusades were fought mainly by Roman Catholic forces against the Muslims.
