Crusades Terry Jones Published by Medieval Studies

Author: Terry Jones

Publisher: Medieval Studies

Description:
Nine hundred years ago Christian Europe was seized by a fever that changed the world. Inspired by a Pope who offered rewards on earth and a certain place in paradise thereafter, tens of thousands of men, women, and children--knights and peasants, rich and poor, old and young - set out for the Holy Land to recapture the Holy City, Jerusalem, and save their fellow Christians from persecution by the Infidel. This book and the television series which this book accompanies, tell the dramatic story of these events, and the reality behind the myths: of Popes motivated by greed as well as faith; of power hungry nobles and pilgrims on Crusade who murdered, robbed and raped not only Muslims but Jews and Christians also; the great kings of the West such as Ricahrd the Lion-heart of England, Philip Augustus of France and Frederick Barbarossa of Germany, who became the very stuff of legends; and of Arab heroes, Zengi, Nur ed-Din and Saladin, who faced the Christian onslaught often with much greater tolerance than their enemies until finally the Crusaders were driven out of the Holy Land. This story of battles and betrayals, drama and intrigue, is told with wit and clarity, and is magnificently illustrated throughout in color. The authors show how the Europeans used the morality of the Crusades to justify the conquest and destruction of any society which stood in their way, sowing the seeds of fear, suspicion and even hatred in the Arab world - a legacy which remains to this day.
