Chapter Thirty-Nine

Wikipedia and Yellowfang enter a grim day and Yellowfang looks around in bafflement.

Yellowfang: Come along now Wiki, can I call you Wiki? Do your job. Inform me.

Wikipedia: The date is the 27th November, 1095. Pope Urban II is about to make what is widely considered the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land.

Yellowfang: Boring! Doesn't anything interesting ever happen in history?

Wikipedia: Insolent fool! History is what makes our world the world it is today! Because of this speech, between 60,000 to 100,000 people responded to Urban's call and marched onto Jerusalem. A great many innocent died on the way and in the Holy Land, and many of the crusaders died as well. He Muslim soldiers were at first more experienced and more likely to win, but due to the sheer number of Christian soldiers, they eventually triumphed.

Yellowfang: Blah, Blah, Blah. This isn't even the actual fighting, so it's utterly pointless! I see no death, all I see is an old man talk about stupid holy land.

Wikipedia: Stop being so disrespectful! Pope Urban II died in 1099, two weeks after the fall of Jerusalem but before news of the Christian victory had made it back to Europe. His was the first of seven major military campaigns fought over the next two centuries known as Crusades.

Yellowfang: Ugh, can we go now?

Wikipedia: Fine.

Pope Urban II: Deus Vult!

Yellowfang: Shut up!

Pope Urban II: Demon cat! See what has happened now the holy land has fallen! My soldiers, kill the cat!

Yellowfang: Uh-oh.

Yellowfang and Wikipedia run to the safety of the time machine and disappear.
