So I'm writing out my Khazar timeline, and I want to have a Crusade-type expedition mounted against the Jewish Khazars, but I'm not quite sure what to call it, as I don't want to use "Crusade".

First I thought of using Abenteur, the German word for "adventure", on account of the (German) Holy Roman Emperor Otto III leading (or at least sponsoring) the expedition. But it just doesn't sound right to me, especially since the Romanophile Otto III seems to have liked Latin a lot more then German dialects.

Any suggestions for a good ATL term for Crusade? Remember, it's against mainly Jews, and led by a Vulgar Latin-speaking Emperor.
