1066 - The Battle of Hastings:
QUOTE: "Bishop Odo of Bayeux, William's (the Bastard or Conquerer) half-brother and second in command. fought in the Battle of Hastings using a mace in order to prevent the spilling of Christian blood."
After the 1066 battle the church demanded 120 days penance for every man killed (according to Terry Jones), so as William was responsible for 10,000 deaths that would be 3,300 days of penances, so William the Conqueror set up a string of abbeys across Britain to pray for his soul, and gain forgiveness within 18 years. This is a fine example to refute the absurdity of panances.

It has been suggested this Crusade by Catholics and Orthodox, was a covert and cunning attempt by Pope Urban to reunite both religions back into one, and perhaps seeing this the Orthodox only help to start the crusade more than help finish it.
Peter the Hermit returns joining the Princes Crusade beginning the First Crusade proper.

(all were offered remission of sins by the Pope for going to war).
Eastern Leaders in First Crusade:
Notice this is after the 1054 schism where they both together are still united in killing, murdering and destroying. Alexios forced the crusader armies from Europe to pledge all future reclaimed land back to the Eastern Empire (him) as they arrived one army at a time and were vulnerable to this "persuasion".

Dark Ages
1 the period in western Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire and the high Middle Ages, c.500–1100 ad, during which Germanic tribes, and the Vikings, swept through Europe and North Africa, often attacking and destroying towns and settlements. It was judged to have been a time of relative unenlightenment. Essentially it is the time when heathen tribes did most of the killing instead of the pseudo Christians.
1101-1200 - with the popularity of the Cathars. Inquisition and death sentences become more common.
1101 - Crusade of 1101: called: "The Crusade of the Faint-Hearted" was a minor crusade of three separate movements, organized in 1100 and 1101 in the successful aftermath of the First Crusade.

1106 - The Battle of Tinchebray.
1107-1110 - Norwegian Crusade. in the aftermath of the First Crusade, by the lead of the Norwegian king Sigurd I.

This may have been fuelled by
1) The Great Schism
2) several past battles with catholic invaders, such as Robert Guiscard invasion of Sicily,
3) The First Crusaders breaking the agreement to give conquered land over to the Byzantines.
4) The failure of the second crusade, making the Latins just look like dispensable failures and now thus cultural / religious invaders.
