ON THE IDEA OF ORGANIZING A NEW CRUSADE AGAINST THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF CHARLES VIII WHILE PREPARING AN INVASION OF ITALY (1490-1494)
Abstract
The article presents a detailed analysis of
the background and formation of the idea of organizing
a new crusade against the Turks under the leadership of
Charles VIII in the years 1490-1494.
The idea of a new crusade was used by various
countries as a propagandist slogan to reinforce their
own political influence in struggle for hegemony in
Western Europe. The French King Charles VIII needed
a clear political aim shared by other Western European
countries which would allow him to achieve hegemony
in the region. Thus the idea of organizing a new crusade
against the Turks encouraged by Pope Innocent VIII
becomes the main target of French foreign policy in
1490 and the subsequent years from 1492 to 1494
supported by Alexander VI.
