Answer:

The First Crusades (1095–99).

Step-by-step explanation:

Pope Urban II promised forgiveness and pardon for all of the past sins of those who would fight to reclaim the holy land from Muslims, and free the eastern churches. This pardon would also apply to those that would fight the Muslims in Spain.
