The Byzantine emperor asked Pope Urban II to help him gain that land back. In 1095 the pope called for a crusade hoping that the Orthodox Church would reunite with the Catholic Church like two lovers from a very bad gay romance but that, for better or for worse, didn't happen because the Crusades sucked.]]> 2023-06-12 07:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/buranposp/xug54pemxav0dwm5/wish/2620852839 buranposp https://padlet.com/buranposp/xug54pemxav0dwm5/wish/2624139324 The First Crusade was one of the more successful ones out of all the Crusades.
