Good points. 1) You wrote the Pope & Emperor a letter, & they tried to whip the royalty & bishops up into doing something about it, or not. 2) The lack of a clear term, other than "Franks" for the permanent residents of the Crusader Kingdoms, as opposed to visiting crusaders from Europe, is always a pain in writing about the Crusades. Maybe "A series of appeals were made to Europe for new crusades help the kingdoms..." or something.
