2.03 Name Teacher Crusades Postings Time for you to be an international journalist! Use social media to report from the thick of the action during the Crusades! Your assignment is to keep the world informed by posting 10 brief updates. Remember, as a reporter you should remain neutral and report the facts. As you prepare each update, keep the following expectations in mind: ● Write a total of 10 posts. Your updates should be thorough, contain enough information to be

interesting, and be written in complete sentences. ● Include the date (if available), details about the events and key figures you discuss, the

location, and the short- and long-term consequences of the events in each post. ● Include at least two maps from the lesson with your updates. Be sure to explain how the

geography of the area affected the events you discuss (ex. mountain ranges, bodies of water, proximity to the Holy Land, etc.). ● Your updates should describe several different Crusades that happened over the course of nearly 200 years. Be sure that your updates relate to the Crusades discussed in the lesson. Check out this sample post (Hint: this is just a post to demonstrate the writing style and does not reflect the content in the lesson.): It's Monday, January 13th. I'm here reporting from the front lines with the Spanish troops who have gathered and are awaiting battle. The troops seem optimistic about their chances. They've each got heavy packs for what will surely be a long journey along the coast and then across the mountains to the enemies' front lines. They tell me they'll keep their mission in mind —to reclaim land for the Spanish crown. If they are successful, they'll gain the favor of the king. More to come after the battle commences.

. At the council of Clermont, Pope Urban decided to call for the first

crusade in 1095. Urban’s call came from the desire to stop the Turks from westward expansion. This decision came as a result of the Byzantine Emperor’s plea to send military assistance due to the larger and larger threat of Turkish expansion.

2. The First Crusade 1096-1099 The First Crusade was led by Godfrey and other French lords. They marched from Constantinople through lands held by the Seljuk Turks to Antioch. Along the way, they battled Turkic forces. Geoffrey's brother Baldwin stopped to set up the first crusaders state at Edessa.

3. In 1244 the Muslims conquered Jerusalem again, and since then, the Crusaders were never able to retake the Holy Land. King Louis IX of France led two more expeditions, grouped together as the Seventh and Eighth Crusade, but failed to make any territorial gains. The last grip of the Holy Land fell to the Mamluk Empire in 1291.

4. The Third Crusade Turkic ruler Saladin becomes very successful in leading the Seljuks and uniting Muslim armies. The taking of Jerusalem was a call for another crusade. The crusade came with consequences such as the death of Frederick Barbarossa and the failure of Richard the Lionheart to retake Jerusalem. 1192: Peace treaty between Richard and Saladin was established

5. The Fourth Crusade

A new Crusade was called by Pope Innocent III in order to elevate the papacy. 1202- Crusaders set out for Holy Land ,however, were distracted by Venetian lords. The Forth Crusade took the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Control of Constantinople lasted less than a century 1202-1204

6. The second crusade was lead by Richard the Lionheart. He was a lover of war and thus would start a battle on a whim. The second crusade began on June 7, 1191.

7. The Fourth Crusade In this crusade the monarchs sat out and the French knights took charge. The Byzantine Empire was recovered.

8. The Final Crusades 3:17pm, September 3rd, 1217 A Fifth Crusade had begun. It is being led by King Andrew II of Hungary. He is going to the Holy land and then to Egypt. 9:18am, January 9th, 1228

Because of the failure of the Fifth Crusade, Frederick II of the Holly Land Empire decided to lead the Sixth Crusade. He has succeeded in reclaiming the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

9. Crusaders turn on Byzantine. Although the goal of the fourth crusade was capturing the city of Jerusalem, in the middle of the Crusade the crusaders decided to switch their goal and attack the Byzantine Empire. What nobody expected became true and they managed to sack the city of Constantinople, which was a huge victory for Venetians who had bad relations with Byzantine for years before this clash.

10. 1189-1192 Our third attempt at taking over the Holy Land has failed us once again. However, I have made some progress by seeking an agreement with Saladin. He is now open to the idea of allowing Christians to visit the Holy Land although it will remain under Muslim control. Also he has granted me control of North Jaffa....
