To conclude the consideration of whetherthat this is a campaign, let's remember the religious campaigns of the 11-15th centuries.
Crusades
This is the name given to a series of military campaigns from Western Europe, which were of a religious nature, directed against Muslims, but not only.
In a narrow sense, they talk about campaigns made in 1096-1272. to Palestine under the sign of "liberation", especially Jerusalem, with the Holy Sepulcher located there, for wars with the Seljuk Turks.
In a more extended sense, the Crusades are understood to mean other campaigns that were proclaimed by the popes. Among them are the later ones, held to convert the B altic pagans to the Christian faith. And also in order to suppress anti-clerical and heretical movements in Europe, such as the Hussites, Cathars and others.
One of the true inspirers of the mass campaign was Peter of Amiens, a poor hermit nicknamed the Hermit, who was born in Picardy. When he visited Golgotha and the Holy Sepulcher, he saw all kinds of oppression of the brothers in faith in Palestine. This raised great indignation in his soul. Peter went to Pope Urban II in Rome, and after that, barefoot, in rags, carrying a crucifix in his hands, he went around Europe, where he preached about a campaign to free Christians and the Holy Sepulcher.
Touched by his eloquence, ordinary people mistook the hermit for a saint. They considered it lucky to take possession of a piece of wool from his donkey as a keepsake. So the idea became very widespread and became very popular.
