Best Answer

Nothing

Ignore the above

While today it may seem like it was 'nothing' during MEDIEVAL times people went on Crusades as a pilgrimage. Religion was a very important part of life for these people and Jerusalem was the centre of Christianity. The Holy Land was a honey pot for Christians. Pilgrimages were made as penence (punishment) or simply to please God.

When war broke out between Christians and Muslims over the rights to the Holy Land people went on Crusade to drive the Muslims out because they believed that Jerusalem was theirs. They lacked the understanding of other religions that people hold today and so they would not accept it.
