HST103 Western Civilization I

 

QUIZ II

 

In approximately two double-spaced pages plus academic bibliography of two or more sources each, choose two religious/political/economic Crusades carried out between 1095 and 1492 by westerners. For each Crusade, briefly answer the following when applicable in paragraph form:

 

In what years did it occur?

Was it an “official” (Papal) Crusade, and if so, by whom?

What were the stated goal(s), if any?

From what background(s) did some/most of the participants come from?

Who were notable personalities and their actions?

Who “gained” and who “lost”?

How did this Crusade influence other Crusades, if at all?

What is a lasting historical legacy of the Crusade? (What does the west or the east “take” from it today?)

 

As long as your name is at the top of the assignment, a cover page is not necessary. Otherwise, be sure to follow APA or Chicago style.
