Product Description
Synopsis
Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermontin 1095 appealed to Western Christendom to march to the aid of their brethren in the East. The prize was the holy city of Jerusalem which stood at the frontier of three worlds; the world of Western Christendom, the ancient world of the Byzantine Eastern Empire and the world of Islam. The response to the Pope's appeal was immediate and enthusiastic. Mounted warriors in fine armour and peasants and artisans, armed with pikes, bows and arrows or more often sticks and clubs, joined this great enterprise for amy different reasons, from religious fervour to hope of booty and simple curiosity to see the Holy Places. Whatever their reasons, the Crusaders - many of whom had never before left the villages in which they were born - embarked on this great adventure in reckless ignorance. Michael Foss tells the stories of these men and women of all ranks of society using, as far as possible, their own words.
