Answer 1

Answer:

Urban's framing of crusades with a touch of warring on the side made them more popular because it made the European Christians united to fight against Turk to take back the Holy Land from them,

Explanation:

The First Crusade happened back in 1096-1099, under Urban II. The Crusade began as a reaction to fight back Turks who had seized the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

Urban framed Crusades as a pilgrimage with a touch of warring on the side. He asserted that if they die fighting their sins will be forgiven. Framing the crusade in such manner brought great support by European Christians. All the European Christians were united to fight back against the Turks to revoke the Holy Land of Jerusalem.
