The Crusading movement was a major religious, political, and military endeavour of the Middle Ages, generally dated from the Council of Clermont (1095), at which Pope Urban II proclaimed the First Crusade, an armed expedition in support of Eastern Christians under Muslim rule. He framed it as a form of penitential pilgrimage.
