Concerns of the crusaders after taking Jerusalem

To accomplish this goal, they followed models of feudalism which had developed in Europe at the time. This model allowed for lordship over lands and those who lived on them; it also gave them access to money from taxes paid by vassals in exchange for military protection and other services. One problem that arose was how best to keep control of these new territories given that many people living there did not share the same religious beliefs as the crusaders or adhere to their laws. Initially, local rulers were appointed but this led to conflict between Christian rulers trying to exert authority over Muslim subjects who often fought back against taxation or other demands made by their overlords. In response, more direct rule was implemented with most towns being put under imperial law while rural areas had certain liberties granted like freedom from taxation or judicial proceedings according to Islamic legislation. Another issue was attracting Christian settlers into these newly conquered regions which proved difficult due to high levels of insecurity caused by religious tensions with neighboring states, lack of economic opportunity or incentives offered by potential employers as well as cultural differences stemming from different languages spoken in each area. This made it hard for Europeans wishing move permanently overseas; instead they chose temporary periods such as military service or pilgrimage trips if they decided venture out at all. Tensions are revealed throughout this text between two different religions and cultures – Christianity versus Islam – both vying for control over land and goods within a limited geographic area with scarce resources available for use among all parties involved leading up its eventual collapse when neither side could agree upon terms that would satisfy either's needs peacefully without violence occurring first place..
