Round 3: Tossup 1

Fulcher of Chartres (“SHAR-truh”) chronicled one of these events which ended with the Battle of Ascalon. Peter the Hermit and Walter Sans Avoir led a (10[1])so-called “People’s” one (10[1])of these events. After participating in these (10[1])events, Bohemond of Taranto and Godfrey of Bouillon (“bwee-YOHN”) established states which became known (10[1])as “Outremer” (“oo-truh-MAIR”). In 1095, one of these events was announced at the Council of Clermont in a speech (10[1])by Pope Urban II. The Knights Templar regularly took part in these events, (10[1])the third of which saw conflict (10[1])between Richard I of England and the Ayyubid sultan (10[1])Saladin.
