Modern historians have widely differing opinions about the Crusaders. [7] For some, their behavior was inconsistent with the stated goals and the implicit moral authority of the papacy, as evidenced by the fact that the pope sometimes forbade the Crusaders as an ecclesiastical. Crusaders were often plundered while traveling, and their commanders generally retained control of the captured lands instead of returning them to the Byzantines. During the popular Crusade, many Jews were killed in what is now the Rhineland massacre. Constantinople was occupied during the Fourth Crusade. However, the Crusades had a profound impact on Western civilization: the Italian city-states obtained significant concessions in exchange for the help of the Crusaders and the existing colonies that allowed trade with the eastern markets even during the Ottoman period, which allowed Genoa and Venice to flourish. [8] The Crusaders strengthened the collective identity of the Latin Church under the leadership of the papacy. They served as a source for novels of heroism, equestrianism, and piety that fostered romance, philosophy, and medieval literature. [9] The results of the remaining solid campaigns were that they increased the estrangement and schism of Western Christianity from its eastern counterpart, [10] although the goal of sending the Catholic Church to the first campaign was theoretical in principle to fulfill the call by the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus to help repel the Seljuk invasions of Byzantium
