Why did Pope Urban adres the Franks in 1095 in the city of Clermont, what did he promise them, n what ensued?

Answer 1

Muslim armies had conquered much of northern Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Spain, which had been some of the most heavily Christian areas in the world.

Thousands, and possibly millions, of Christians died during this drive to eventually bring the entire world under Islam.

The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to check the advance of the Muslims and regain control of the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

I am sure that some atrocities were committed by both sides during this war but by most people's judgment this was a just war.

Answer 2

For those leaving for Holy Land in Crusade there was :
1) Capability to go to Paradise if dieing during the Crusade (not only killed...) But this happened for everyone leaving for a Pilgrimage
2) He described those lands like.. very rich ones ;)
3) He promised "Gods Peace" to all Lords leaving for Crusade. That meant a sort of Church holy guarantee over their land, not to be robbed or conquered by others while they were in Crusade.
4) Same promised to cities sending troops.
5) To everyone the cancellation of debts.
