- The Second Crusade
- Who is responsible for calling it?
- Medium: Eugenius Writes Bull Quantum Praedecessores, religious motives, offers crusaders a lot e.g remission of sins + not interest on loans. Encourages Louis to follow his plan.
- Most: Bernard Teaches E ideology of Holy War, 1147 given control of Crusade by E. Does most of preaching - tours Fr + Ger (but uses Bull), uses Cisterian monks for recruiting + convinces C's enemies to join to C will join.
- How was it different from 1st?
- Status of Papacy was assured after Investiture contest + capture of Jerusalem. Knights = more popular, elite
- States were established and defended unlike before
- Why did it fail?
- Lack of clear motive/ over ambition e.g Iberian and Baltic (Wendish) Crusade
- Rise of Muslim unity, Nur-al Din, Ji'had ideology
- Poor Frankish leadership, @ Dorylaeum + Damascus, from Conrad + Louis
- Lack of Byzantine support, blamed for Dorylaeum, French like Italians + Byzantines don't
- Christian/ Frankish disunity, e.g dislike betw/ Louis + Raymond of Antioch
- No element of surprise, Turks know how Christians fight (Conrad at Dorylaeum), Louis follows same route as before
- What were the effects after the failure?
- 1146 2nd Muslim attack on E, destroyed city not worth recapturing
- Failure @ Damascus strengthened Nur-al Din + increased Muslim morale, see Battle of Inab
- BIII appealed to west for help-nothing comes = humiliating, future crusades = less popular.
- Attack on Damascus destroyed alliance betw/rulers of Outremer + Muslims
- Drove Eastern + Western churches further apart
- Papacy lost prestige
- All crusades now strictly military
- Sowed seeds for ultimate downfall of Outremer in 1187
