Answer 2

1. To defend Christianity & 3. For riches

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Middle Ages (medieval time) the Crusades came up as 'expeditions' to recover holy land taken by Muslims.

People involved on Crusades were seeking the security of the Church and their holy territories.

Men also took this opportunity to gain more resources and power from lands they were recovering. While promoting Christianity as the main and only religion to follow.
