Résumé
This article examines the involvement of Cluny with the First Crusade on three levels : (1) the comparatively small amount of evidence from charters and other sources showing that Cluny was not more directly involved with the Crusade than many other monasteries ; (2) the concern of Cluny with the Moslems in South of Italy, France and especially Spain where abbot Hugh was actively involved in the spread of Christianity and the efforts to convert the Moslems in the eleventh century ; (3) the promotion by Cluny of the practice of pilgrimage, the idea of sanctified knighthood and holy war and the peace and treve of God, all of which contributed to the background of the Crusade.
