Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Crusades, then pay attention...

It could be said that European kings and nobles in the Middle Ages were Crusade mad. The enormous amount of fighting men who periodically sailed off to the Near East to do battle with Muslims are evidence of the widespread popularity of overseas adventurism at the time. The notion of a Crusade, in which large armies assembled from various regions of Europe for the purpose of doing battle with Turkish and Arab Muslims, became so fixed that it was expanded to include Crusades against heretical European Christian sects.

In The Crusades: A Captivating Guide to the Military Expeditions during the Middle Ages That Departed from Europe with the Goal to Free Jerusalem and Aid Christianity in the Holy Land, you will discover topics such as:

  • The First Crusade (1095 - 1099) -The Pope Calls the Faithful to Arms
  • The Armies of the First Crusade Engage with the Enemy
  • The Aftermath of the First Crusade
  • The Second Crusade (1147-1149) The Beginnings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem
  • The Third Crusade (1189-1192) - The King’s Crusade
  • The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) - The Latin Empire of Constantinople and the Children’s Crusade
  • The Fifth Crusade (1217-1221)
  • The Sixth Crusade (1228) - The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II Takes the Cross
  • The Seventh Crusade (1248-1254)
  • The Eighth Crusade (1270)
  • And much, much more!

Covers most of the main Crusades

The author explains both the Muslim and European politics that influenced the conflict without descending into PC moralizing. Massive but readable.
