What best summarizes what the pope is saying in Robert the Monk’s account of Pope Urban II’s speech is that God will reward those who liberate Jerusalem.

Pope Urban II made an influential speech during the Middle Ages on November 27, 1095. In that speech, Pope Urban II made the clarion call: all Christians in Europe must be united in order to declare war against Muslims to defend and protect the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

Answer:

D. God will reward those who liberate Jerusalem.

Explanation:

Pope Urban II begins the excerpt affirming the Jerusalem people's desire: to be liberated, and then encourages the audience to liberate the royal city and come to its aid with the promise that God will reward those who take such a journey with “imperishable glory in the kingdom of heaven.” Sentence D, then, is the one that best summarizes the Pope's words.
