Answer: Crusades were declared by the pope Urban II in the 11th century (1095) in today´s French city of Clermond-Ferrand. The motive of it was the occupations of the Holy Land by Seljuk Turcs. Who instigated this act of the pope was Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos who asked Urban II for help. Thus the 1st Crusade was initiated. In fact it was the most expressive and expansive and military aspect of medieval Christianity

Explanation: Crusades is a perfect manifestation of the narrow link between papacy and secular power (kings and emperors) and of medieval times.
