| - The Crusades refers to the hundred year war between humans and Gears. The war began when Justice took control of the Gear army at 2074 and attacked Japan. Immediately after, the United Nations formed the Sacred Order of Holy Knights to counter the threat. The war ravaged the earth and dissolved a number of nations. The war finally ended at 2175 when the Holy Knights, led by Ky Kiske, sealed Justice in an alternate dimension. However, in the Alternate Timeline created by I-No, the war dragged on for ten more years because of Ky Kiske's death in the Battle of Rome.

- Crusades is a 9 level Ultimate Doom PWAD in episode four style made by Richard Wiles. It replaces maps E4M1-E4M9. This episode is known for its extreme difficulty.
- The Crusades was a war fully sanctioned by God, led by Stephen Colbert himself with a 100001% Catholic Seal of Approval.

- The Crusades were a series of murderous campaigns against Islam which the Church set up in Medieval times. Whole populations of conquered cities were masacred. Muslims also waged murderous Jihad at times but apparently behaved less badly than the Crusaders.
- Crusades was a campaign of the planet Longinus in Roman-Saracen war. (RPG: "First Steps: The Stargate Unexplored Worlds Roleplaying Sourcebook")
- Crusades were fought mainly against Muslims, though campaigns were also directed against pagan Slavs, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, Waldensians, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the popes. Somewhere between the years 1218 A.D. and 1225 A.D., the young knight, Nicolas de Brabant was framed for murder in Wales, and permitted to "take the cross" (i.e. go on crusade) instead of being sent for trial. In the Holy Land he took part in at least one battle, located near a Moorish castle, in which he was badly wounded and nearly died.
- While some historians see the Crusades as part of a purely defensive war against the expansion of Islam in the near east, many see them as part of long-running conflicts at the frontiers of Europe, including the Arab–Byzantine Wars, the Byzantine–Seljuq Wars, and the loss of Anatolia by the Byzantines after their defeat by the Seljuk Turks at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. Urban II sought to reunite the Christian church under his leadership by providing Emperor Alexios I with military support. Several hundred thousand soldiers became Crusaders by taking vows and by receiving plenary indulgences. These crusaders were Christians from all over Western Europe under feudal rather than unified command, and the politics were often complicated to the point of intra-faith competition leading to a
- The Crusades were a series of conflicts fought in and around Palestine in at least the 12th and 13th centuries. The principal aim of the crusades was for European Christian forces to retake control of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim occupation, as well as campaigns against other races and religions. Monarchs, nobles and commoners, all involved took oaths to uphold the principles of the crusade in exchange for indulgences against past sins. (TV: The Crusade, The King's Demons)
- The Crusades was a series of military conflicts in Earth's Middle Ages. One of the primary reasons for these conflicts was over religious differences between members of the Christian faith against Muslims and others. Originally the crusades were intended to recapture Jerusalem and other territories - which over the centuries had come into Muslim hands. The first crusade was held in the late 11th century, from 1094 to 1099. For the next two centuries there was an entire series of crusades.
- The Crusades are a series of sanctioned military campaigns, defensive in nature, waged by alliances of the Grey Sphere, particularly the Holy Roman Empire. The campaigns began in response to overwhelming attacks on Grey nations and alliances by "Rogues". Because the rogues can't be sanctioned by the Grey they attack often, targeting weaker nations. The Grey alliances began fighting back; in late 2010 when Emperor Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire declared a "Crusade" against the rogues to protect the citizens of the Grey sphere, a joint effort began to form. They received support from the other Grey alliances and thus the campaigns began. Mostly in defensive fashion, the campaigns attempt to overwhelm the rogues as much as possible to try and divert them from attacking any further. Unli
- The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and were launched in response to a call from the Christian Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk Turks into Anatolia. The term is also used to describe contemporaneous and subsequent campaigns conducted through to the 16th century in territories outside the Levant usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade.
- The Crusades against Araby, more commonly known as the Great Crusades or simply as the Crusades refers to a three-year long military campaign launched by the Knights of Bretonnia and the Knights of the Empire in order to free the distant Kingdom of Estalia from the enslavement of the Araby invaders of Sultan Jaffar. The King of Bretonnia, Louis the Righteous, raised a huge army of knights to free Estalia and punish Jaffar for the atrocities they have committed. Glory-hungry knights from all across Bretonnia joined the King's banners in what would become the first of a series of Crusades all across the known world. While this splendid army marched on Estalia, distant lands have lended reinforcements to these brave Knights, such as the warships of Tilea.
- The Crusades. What do you think of when that subject comes up? A preacher in a pulpit asking his congregation to confess their sins and book a holiday in Israel?? The Salvation Army lecturing you the dangers of the demon drink??? Or a fancy dress theme 'knight' to remember where you hope to finish the evening and head out to look for trouble???? Perhaps your imagination stretches to the images of men in shining armour and flowing cloaks as they gallop over the sand chasing after fleeing foreigners and entering a harem to help themselves to Turkish delight and Egyptian belly dancers.
