A crusade was a pilgrimage. 'Pilgrimage,' whether in Latin or vernacular, being the usual term used to describe expeditions to the Holy Land (or elsewhere), whether military or otherwise. 'Crusade' was not a contemproary term but has come to denote major expeditions with official papal sanction.
The source for this statement, is an excerpted passage from an article in which it is stated "Whether this expedition was a crusade or a pilgrimage is a topic of some debate to which I will return below."
However, the remarks which might explain this false distinction, to which the author undertakes to return later in the essay, are no longer accessible.
