Why did the Seljuk Turks’ conquest of Palestine anger Europeans?

Sagot :

Answer:

Christian access was denied and the Holy Sepulcher despoiled

Explanation:

After the Seljuk Turks secured Jerusalem from the Egyptians in 1071, as well as defeating Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV they denied access to Christian and despoiled the Holy Sepulcher. (church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. ) later on in the 11th century (1000-1100) Byzantine Emperor Alexius I requested from the west for military aid. Odo of Châtillon otherwise known as Pope Urban II, argued for the recapture and rebuilding of the Holy Sepulcher… which inspired what is known today as the First Crusade.
