The Zealots were not interested in rebellion against Christians. The Zealots were those Jews of the first and early second centuries who advocated rebellion against Impereial Rome in order to establish an independent Jewish country. Twice, once in the years 68-72 and again in 132-136, the Roman provence of Judea rose in revolt and drove Rome out of Jerusalem. Each time, all the Jews of Roman Judea were, whether they wanted to or not, forced to either join the rebellion or go into hiding. Each time, it took Rome a few years to mobilize a response to crush the rebellion. The responses they mobilized were massive, pulling in legions from as far away as Germany. The second revolt led Rome to rename Judea as Palistinia, ban Jews from ever living in Jerusalem (which they also renamed), and ban the teaching of Judaism.

How did a lord become a king?
He usually doesn't in any civilised ways, because obviously the king wouldn't just give up his position. The lord may rebel against the king, though, and if he wins the fight, which is unlikely, then he might be king, or be elected king.
How did the Crusades help the Catholic Church gain power?
If the Catholic Church had not already significant prestige and power, Pope Urban's call for a Crusade would have had no response. In fact the response to the call to defend the Eastern Christian Empire of Byzantium against a devastating attack from the Islamic Seljuk Turks was overwhelming. The idea of freeing Jerusalem from Muslim rule also caught the popular imagination. The almost miraculouys success of the First crusade in capturing Jerusalem enormously boosted the standing and prestige of the Church. The continuing draining battle to maintain a foothold in Palestine slowly exhausted much of the original Crusading zeal, and European states began to follow their own quarrels and national interests once more. The fall of Constantinople to rebel soldiers of the 4th Crusade, weakened the Orthodox Church and left a legacy of bitterness between Eastern and Western Christians.
