According to my book, they wanted to win the holy land from the infidels. The infidels disturbed the Christians due to their Non-Christian religion. They also wanted to reunite the Western and Eastern Christians' under Pope Urban II's control. Pope Urban II was the leader of the clergy from the fact that he was the pope. The pope is higher than all levels. The order is pope to cardinals to archbishops to bishop to monks to priest the to nuns. There was also an advantage to reuniting the Western and Eastern Christians. The advantage was having the Byzantines as their ally. The Byzantines were a strong empire. So surely, the Byzantines helped in the war. It did not only add more people but it also added more power. I hope I helped!
