Summary

Mike Paine: The Crusaders: A Brief History of the Crusades

This book provides one of the most striking images of the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages were the stage on which the famous characters of the great medieval knights, the flower of the warrior class, enacted their dramas. The Middle Ages were a battlefield where two great and opposing religions met. And yet, what exactly are the Crusades? What did the crusaders fight for? What were the results of the great conflict between Christianity and Islam? And what is the truth behind the myths and knights and chivalry? The author reveals the bloody, violent, and sometimes farcical reality unknown to our idea of the Crusades, following the chronology of these campaigns from 1095, when Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade, to the fall of Acre in 1291. It talks about the creation of the Jerusalem Empire and other crusader states and their struggle for survival. It deals with the successes and failures of the Third Crusade and the legendary figures of Richard the Lionheart and Saladin, exploring the truth and myths behind stories of soldier-monks such as the Knights Hospitaller, and also traces strange historical events such as the Children's Crusade and the Crusader sack of Constantinople, 1204. This book provides essential information about one of the great unifying and divisive forces of medieval Christendom.
