the got killed
Though Palestine (Jerusalem) was in control of the Holy Land during the first Crusade, all three major religions resided inside Palestine's walls( Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) When the Crusaders eventually stormed Palestine, they basically murdered anything that moved, no matter what religion you were, even other Christians.
The goal was to recapture the Holy Land (Palestine) from the Seldjuk Turks. The Turks had defeated the Byzantines in 1071, and took Jerusalem. They persecuted the Chistians. So, the Crusades were military expeditions fought by the Europeans to win back the Holy Land. The First Crusade was called by the Pope (Urban II). The Crusades successfully captured Jerusalem in 1099 and massacred its inhabitants.
The main difference between the First Crusade and the Second Crusade is that the Christian forces successfully captured Jerusalem and surrounding lands in the First Crusade and experienced heavy losses in the Second Crusade. Both crusades were formed to reconquer Muslim lands that had been previously Christian and/or Jewish.
Around 20,000 men went on the first Crusade. This was not the last Crusade. 5 Crusades total took place during the Middle Ages in Palestine. This was the Christan's, and Jew's Holy Land. They were fighting against the Muslim Turks.
Saladin
The Christians of the First Crusade had captured Jerusalem and massacred the entire population, Christian, Jew and Muslim alike. The Christians now occupied much of the former Arab territores of Palestine and threatened further incursions. Saladin recaptured Jerusalem as part of a push to recover lost territories. At the end of the Third Crusade, which failed to dislodge him, he reached a truce with Richard I of England.
The Turks took over Palestine from the Arabs. It became unsafe for Christian Pilgrims to visit The Holy Sites listed in The Bible. The First Crusade had the purpose of capturing Palestine for Christians so that Christian Pilgrims would be safe. After 100 years, Saladin conquered Palestine. The Second Crusade failed to reconquer Palestine. The leaders of the third and fourth Crusades discovered they did not have the forces to recapture Palestine and turned to piracy. Like so many movements that start for noble purposes, the Crusades ended in corruption.
