  1. During the 12th century monarchs like Henry II and Richard the Lionheart engaged in crusade s to the Holy Land, demonstrating their commitment to the Christian faith and killed many Muslims in the process. These crusades were seen as a way to expand their influence and gain control over strategic territories, while also fulfilling their religious obligations. However, the violent nature of these campaigns led to significant loss of life and strained relations between Christians and Muslims for centuries to come. They were also very hated by poor brittish people who saw the crusades as a distraction from addressing domestic issues such as poverty and inequality. The high costs associated with funding these expeditions further exacerbated the resentment towards the crusaders, as it burdened the already struggling economy. Despite their initial intentions, the negative consequences of the crusades left a lasting impact on both European and Middle Eastern societies.
