 Late in 1095, Pope Urban II first proclaimed an armed pilgrimage, or penitential holy war, that led to the First Crusade of 1096–1102.Before the end of the year, tens of thousands of men, women, and children answered his call to re-establish Christian control of Jerusalem.The particular terminology employed by the "Chronicle of Mann"—that Lǫgmaðr departed the kingdom "marked with the sign of the Lord's cross"—suggests that he participated in a crusade.
