About this worksheet

The Crusades: causes, journeys and what changed in trade and ideas. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can explain why the First Crusade began (the Seljuq advance, Alexius I's request and Urban II's call in 1095), and say what followers believed about the indulgence.
  • I can follow the road from Europe to Jerusalem (1096–1099), the attacks on Rhineland Jewish communities (1096), and Saladin's taking of Jerusalem and the 1192 treaty.
  • I can explain the Fourth Crusade's turn to Constantinople (1204) through causes that merge, weigh claims about trade and learning, and read Byzantine, Muslim and Latin writers' accounts as views from different sides.

Standard: D2.His.14.6-8; D2.Geo.7.6-8 (partial)
