Important people of the Crusades

Count Raymond IV of Toulouse- Led a group from Provence, in Southern France in the First Crusade.

King Louis VII of France- Basically joined the Second Crusade in guilt. He had done unspeakable things to some of his subjects that revolted. He, like thousands of others, took the religious salvage of the Crusade to offset the deed.

**Frederick Barbarossa of Germany-** Nearly seventy years old, but yet still fighting strong in the Third Crusade. He drowned while crossing a river. The people that he led, left the Crusade, in grief and returned back to Germany.
