In 1095, the first Crusade was set in motion by Pope Urban II; four years later, it culminated in the capture of Jerusalem from the Muslims. In 1291, the fall of Acre marked the loss of the last Christian enclave in the Holy Land. This book traces the chronology of the Crusades between these two dates and highlights the most important figures on all sides of the conflict. It looks at the creation of the kingdom of Jerusalem and the other crusader states and their struggle to survive. It also looks at the successes and failures of the Third Crusade and at the legendary figures of Richard the Lionheart and Saladin, explores the truth and the myths behind the orders of military monks like the Hospitallers, and examines such strange historical events as the Children's Crusade and the Crusader sacking of Byzantium. A fascinating overview of one of the great unifying, and dis-unifying, forces of medieval Christendom.
