  4. Geoffrey

  5. Deus vulte..   God wills it.

  6. Deus vulte. Urban II, 1095, in Clermont, central France.

  7. In strict sense, it was no Bull. It was a speech delivered  by Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermont.

    "In Gesta Dei per Francos by Robert the Monk, writing about twenty years after the council, an extended version of the speech presents the call to the "race of the Franks" as a peroration climaxing Urban's call for orthodoxy, reform and submission to the Church. Robert records that the pope asked western Christians, poor and rich, to come to the aid of the Greeks in the east, because "Deus vult," ("God wills it"), the rousing cry with which Urban ended his final address. Robert records that Urban promised remission of sins for those who went to the east, although he probably did not mean what later came to be called indulgences. "
