Summary
Peter Frankopan: The First Crusade
A Call from the East An extraordinary look at the history of the Crusades through the prism of Byzantium. According to legend, the First Crusade began at the instigation of Pope Urban II. But what if the real mover was much further east than Rome? In this book, Frankopan reveals the untold history of the First Crusade. He observes events from the East, especially from Constantinople, the seat of the Byzantine Empire. The result is a real revelation. We see that the real initiator of the First Crusade was Emperor Alexius I Komnenus, who in 1095, when his empire was under attack by the Turks and on the verge of collapse, begged the Pope for military support. The author bases his version on long-neglected Eastern sources and provides a provocative, highly original explanation of the world-changing events caused by the First Crusade. The Vatican victory cemented papal power, while Constantinople, the heart of the still vibrant Byzantine Empire, never recovered. Thanks to Frankopan's revolutionary work, we understand more clearly how the liberation of Jerusalem prepared the ground for shaping the modern world and the dominance of Western Europe, which continues today.
