The last time the city of Jerusalem was held by Christian hands was when Emperor Frederick II recovered Jerusalem from the Muslims by signing a treaty. However in 1244 the Muslims took possesion for Jerusalem and have held it since. Crusading continued to happen, but as time passed more and more people began to lose enthusiasm in crusading. They stopped believing that they needed to focus on the lives they had right now and what was around them. So they soon just stopped all together. This is signifigant to history because it stopped all of the Crusades. It relates to other areas of history because it stopped popes from trying to keep creating Crusade after Crusade, and marked the end of an era of fighting between Muslims and Christians.
