jan 1, 1095 - Council of Clermont

Description:

Council at which Pope Urban II decided how to respond to Alexios's request for soldiers.
Ended with three declarations by Urban:
1. We need to elminate the Rum Seljuk threat
2. We should liberate Christians in the east under muslim rule
3. We should liberate the Land of Christ, Jerusalem from the Seljuks

Went way farther than Alexios's original request and had some unforseen consequences.
