Transcript
A Spanish Crusade (The Spanish Inquisition)
- Ferdinand and Isabella used the inquisition to unify their country under Christianity and to increase their power. The inquisition was a court held by the Church to suppress heresy.
- Heretics' religious beliefs were different from the teachings of the Church. A heretic might be questioned and tortured, and they were often burned at the stake.
- Many Jews and Muslims converted to Christianity, but were often suspected of heresy.
- All practicing Jews and Musims were expelled from Spain
- No Crusade after the 3rd was successful, because they became about personal gain.
The Childrens Crusade (Germany)
- In Germany, Nicholas of Cologne marched to Rome with around 20,000 children and young adults. Thousands died while crossing the Alps. Survivors met the pope, and were told to go home and wait until they were older.
- 2,000 survived the trip, and the few who went to the Holy Land were never heard of again.
A Spanish Crusade
The Children's Crusade
