Anti-Muslim feelings pushed forward by the Pope helped lead to the first crusade, specifically on November 18, 1095 when Pope Urban II opened the Council of Clermont where ambassadors from the Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus, asked for help against the Muslims. The level of power the Pope held increased as a result of the first crusade, as he became the leader of armies and restorer of Christians. He also benefited financially as many crusaders sold their lands to him at deflated prices or even gave them to him in exchange for prayers and benedictions.
