At the end of the Italian War of Independence, Ezzo II of Lombardy became a veritable leader among the Italian states with his great exploits, and the number of territories was nearly doubled, but the Grand Duchy of Tuscany also gained a lot of benefits, the most important of which was the acquisition of the city of Mantua, known as the key to Italy, and became the leader of the central region of Italy.

After the war, the Lombards and Tuscany became the two giants of Italy, and in the end, who won the Italian crown could only be determined through war.

In general, William and the Pope also benefited a lot from the Italian war, and it goes without saying that William gradually took control of the Duchy of Tuscany Matilda, the Archduchess of Tuscany, by sending Norman mercenaries to the Duchy of Tuscany.

On the Pope's side, he not only severely defeated the spirit of the HRE Empire through this war, allowing the Holy Power to gain the upper hand in the struggle with the Imperial Power, but also made the Italian states vassals of the Holy See, and it can be said that the whole of Italy has now become the sphere of influence of the Holy See.

However, things don't always go as smoothly as one might expect.

On July 16, 1054, in the Hagia Sophia of Constantinople, the papal envoy Humbert, who was tasked with repairing the rift between the Eastern and Western churches, announced the excommunication of Patriarch Constantine and the Church of the East because of the controversy over whether unleavened bread should be used in the sacrament or leavened bread.

Since then, the Latin diocese in the west is called Catholic, and the Greek diocese in the east is called Orthodox, which is known as the Great Schism between the East and the West.

A major event that determined the pattern of Christianity in later generations, known as the Great Schism of Christianity, was caused by the controversy over whether there was unleavened bread or leavened bread, which was seen by later generations, and it was really a bit of a fuss, but at that time, this was a very serious religious issue and should not be treated lightly.

Unleavened bread is a long-standing bread food that first appeared in ancient Egypt and Sumer. Unleavened bread was eaten by Jews to commemorate the Passover, and was later introduced by Jesus Christ for use in the Christian religion.

In the Christian Eucharist and Mass, only unleavened bread can be used, which is clearly recorded in the Old Testament, where "leaven" is mentioned more than 30 times, all of which mean "bad things" and are used as a representation of sin.

Therefore, Christianity strictly forbids Christians from eating leavened bread during Mass and Holy Supper.

The Greek Orthodox Church, on the other hand, insisted on the use of leavened bread in their communion ritual.

In Christianity today, this is a small issue, but at the time, the use of unleavened bread or leavened bread was a very big one, and both sides thought that the other was different according to the Christian tradition.

Of course, the battle between unleavened bread and leavened bread is only a façade, but in reality it is a dispute between the two sides over who is orthodox, and the political background of the Byzantine territory in southern Italy, which is constantly being lost.

Naturally, the Normans were indispensable in this, and the continuous adventures of the Normans in Italy continued to conquer the territories that originally belonged to Byzantium, so that the strength of Catholicism eroded the sphere of influence that originally belonged to the Greek Orthodox Church, which led to the great schism of Christianity.

The Great Schism was a welcome welcome event for William, who had the Greek Orthodox Church to help him attract the attention of the Pope, and he had more than enough strength to strengthen his grip on the Church at home.

In the Norman kingdom, the church in the country was completely controlled by William, whether it was the church's estates, assets, or the appointment of the clergy, it was completely in William's hands, and he made himself the head of the church in the country by promulgating the "Supreme Act".

Although nominally, the church of the Norman kingdom did not break away from Christianity and still respected the Roman side, but in terms of time, the Pope of Rome could not do anything to the church of the Norman kingdom at all.

Previously, Victor II appointed Hildebrand as Patriarch of Aquitaine with the intention of making him reclaim the religious power of the Norman Kingdom, but so what, William did not recognize his position as Patriarch, and even Hildebrand could not take half a step towards the Signei.

The split in the church has reduced Jerusalem to the point of contention between Eastern and Western Christians, and in a word, whoever can regain Jerusalem will gain great prestige enough to bridge the split between the Eastern and Western churches.

The First Crusade in history, in addition to the brutality of the Seljuks and the appeal of Emperor Mukning, was particularly important, when Urban II launched the crusade to bridge the divide between the Eastern and Western Churches.

Jerusalem has been a holy city since ancient times, and its sanctity comes not only from the fact that it was the place where Jesus was crucifixed and the resurrection of Jesus, but also that it was the place where Jehovah performed miracles several times.

"Javid" is the Jewish name for God, Christianity calls Jesus, *** religion is called "Allah or Allah", in fact, whether it is Christianity, *** religion, or Judaism, they worship the same deity, God Jehovah.

The term "scapegoat" is a familiar term, and its origin is related to God.

Abraham, the patriarch of the Jews and Arabs, began to settle in Canaan, which is now Palestine, according to God's will, and God asked him to kill his son Isaac and sacrifice him in order to test his loyalty, and when the knife was about to pierce Isaac, God stopped him and replaced him with a sheep next to him, which is the origin of the "scapegoat".

On the way to Canaan, on the Sinai peninsula, God Himself carved two stone tablets for Moses, on which were written ten covenants with the Jews, which were the Ten Commandments of Moses.

Later, according to God's will, Moses wrote a chest for storing the Ten Commandments, the "Ark of the Covenant," which has now been lost, and no one knows that the "Ark of the Covenant" was in William's hands.

Later, King Solomon, the king of the Jews, built a temple to serve as God's dwelling place on earth in order to worship the Ark of the Covenant.

Legend has it that if a non-priest entered the temple, he would be doomed, and one of them was a well-known figure, Pompeii, a contemporary of Caesar.

Pompey entered the temple during the conquest of Jerusalem, and as expected, he was betrayed and died by his men in the war with Caesar.

I will not list the many people who entered the temple without permission, but without exception, all of them were punished by God and suffered a bad death.

As a result of the miracles of God and Jesus, Jerusalem not only became the holiest place of Christianity, but also the third holiest site of Islam after Mecca and Medina, and during the reign of the Fatifa, Jerusalem was even the first holiest site of Islam.

As the holy place of Christianity, many people go on pilgrimage, and Christians are convinced that if they can make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem from their homeland, even if they die on the pilgrimage, they can be relieved or alleviated from the sins of their bodies and their souls will ascend to heaven.

Jerusalem is so important that both Western Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians want to fight for this holy city.
