Explanation: Pope Urban II, a native of France, was the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from 12 March 1088 to his death in 1099. He is best known for initiating the Crusades, by calling on all Christians in Europe to wage war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land.
Since the 6th century, Christians frequently made pilgrimages to the birthplace of their religion, but when the Seljuk Turks took control of Jerusalem, Christians were barred from the Holy City. With the threat of Byzantine Empire invasion to take Constantinople, Byzantine Emperor Alexius I made a special appeal to Urban whereby Urban seized the opportunity to reinforce the power of his Papacy.
