Byzantine Emperor Alexius did not have enough power to go against the Seljuk Turks who had settled outside the gates of Byzantium, so he invited Christian rulers in the west to join forces against a common Islamic enemy. So, in addition to that Seljuk Turks were Muslims.
This will prove to be one of the most significant (and by Byzantium as one of the most disastrous) decisions in the history of the Empire, the Christian world and the history of relations between Christians and Muslims.
Roman Pope Urban used this invitation to help end the centuries-old aspirations of Roman Catholic leaders to annex the Byzantine Church to the Roman Catholic subjugation. Therefore, in 1095, at the council in Clermont, he called on the entire Western Christian world to take up arms under the sign of the cross and to embark on a campaign to retake Jerusalem from the hands of the unbelievers. This was followed by an incredible and unexpectedly massive response from warriors from all parts of the western countries from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, and one of the points on their journey was Constantinople.
Explanation:
- The Byzantine emperor Alexius expected help in the form of a smaller number of mercenary units from the west and was completely unprepared for a huge and undisciplined army of armed savages who soon arrived in the Byzantine territories.
- Most of the leaders from the west were Normans, and Emperor Alexius allowed them to pass through Constantinople only on the condition that they swear that all the liberated territories would belong to Byzantium.
- The Norman promises to Byzantium were quickly broken as soon as the first unbelieving territories and cities were conquered, including Antioch, which was adopted as a feud by the Norman Bohemund, son of the famous Norman conqueror Robert, proclaiming himself the Prince of Antioch.

Explanation:
Answer:
La visión sobre el ser humano y la propia sociedad cambió radicalmente entre el medioevo y el renacimiento. Específicamente, la concepción del hombre en su relación con lo divino, con la naturaleza y con el poder se modificó abruptamente.
Así, durante la Edad Media la concepción del hombre dentro de la sociedad era la de un simple siervo de Dios, enmarcado en sociedades de profunda ideología religiosa que regulaba con sus propios dogmas el comportamiento de los individuos. A su vez, el poder político obtenía su legitimación de la propia religión, con lo cual la servidumbre se trasladaba a los señores feudales y los reyes que ejercían el poder en dicha época. Por lo tanto, la humanidad era teocentrista, basando su propia existencia en la visión religiosa y la adoración de un Dios.
En cambio, el Renacimiento vino a romper con dicha estructura de pensamiento. En esta etapa, se pasó de considerar a la religión como fuente de legitimación política, cultural e intelectual a poner dicha legitimación en la razón y los hechos objetivos, desplazando a Dios del centro de la escena y poniendo al hombre en su lugar. La sociedad, entonces, se convirtió en antropocéntrica, basando su propia existencia en el bienestar del hombre y el razonamiento como método de justificación de las relaciones humanas y de poder, surgiendo como consecuencia el reconocimiento de los principales derechos humanos a la vida y la libertad.
