Picture of the day

The Council of Clermont was a mixed synod of ecclesiastics and laymen of the Catholic Church, called by Pope Urban II and held from 17 to 27 November 1095 at Clermont, Auvergne, at the time part of the Duchy of Aquitaine.

While the council is known today primarily for the speech Pope Urban gave on the final day, it was primarily a synod focused on implementing the Cluniac reforms, enacting decrees and settling local and regional issues. This also included the extension of the excommunication of Philip I of France for his adulterous remarriage to Bertrade of Montfort and a declaration of renewal of the Truce of God, an attempt on the part of the church to reduce feuding among Frankish nobles.

Pope Urban's speech on 27 November included the call to arms that would result in the First Crusade, and eventually the capture of Jerusalem and the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The image comes from the Passages d'outremer, a chronicle of the Crusades published and illustrated three centuries after this event, and isn't particularly historically accurate, but also considered a masterpiece of mediaeval illustration, and a document showing the 15th-century interpretation of the crusading movement.Illustration credit: Jean Colombe

• I think you are completely missing the point in autograph pages. The purpose is not to make it long, it is to collect signatures of friendly Wikipedians. If you are trying to make the longest, then you are completely missing the point. But I'll sign anyway. Would you sign mine, please? ;-) ANNAfoxlover 00:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
• I came here to tell you that I have a strict rule against signing autograph pages. They do not help the encyclopedia, and they are a distraction from more important things, and I would never do something as silly as place my autograph on a page like this. But whoops ... here I am writing on this page, so I am going to have to sign my comment, and so after all you wind up with the autograph of ... Newyorkbrad 01:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
