Not Rot! Rather, it is well known history.

A simple search of the Net will yield numerous books & articles that verify indulgences were granted by the popes during the Crusades. This is commonly known & acknowledged by both secular & religious researchers & authors.

The Oxford History of the Crusades can be found here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/63564336/The-Oxford-History-of-the-Crusades

It has numerous references to indulgences granted by the popes.

Please show me any documentation that refutes this fact.

yes, indulgences that if you die, your sins are forgiven. That’s quite different from what you said of indulgences for killing. There were no indulgences giving for killing infidels — at least on the Christian side.
