<P> Pope Urban 's speech on November 27 included the call to arms that would result in the First Crusade , and eventually the capture of Jerusalem and the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem . In this , Urban reacted to the request by Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus who had sent envoys to the Council of Piacenza requesting military assistance against the Seljuk Turks . Several accounts of the speech survive ; of these , the one by Fulcher of Chartres , who was present at the council , is generally accepted as the most reliable . </P>
