The Real History of the Crusades

Is a series of sacred wars against Islam guided by crazy pope and fought by religious fanatics? Think again.

In addition to Umberto Eco, medieval scholars are not accustomed to attracting media attention. We tend to be a quiet place (except for the annual Bacchanalia in every place except the International Medieval Studies Congress in Kalamazoo, Michigan), carefully examined the mildew chronicle, carefully looking at boring and detailed I have seldom read and write research. . Surprisingly, imagine that during the September 11 attack era, the Middle Ages suddenly became relevant.

As historian of Crusader's history, I learned that the quiet loneliness of the ivory tower was broken by reporters, editors and talk show organizers during a tough deadline. What is the Crusade? They asked. when? How insensitive is the use of President George W Bush for his remarks of the word Crusaders? Some of the people who call me have a clear feeling that someone already knows the answer to the question, or at least I thought they did it. What they really want is experts, let them all answer. For example, I often be asked for comments on dissatisfaction with the West side of the Islamic world. Do they claim that current violence arises from brutal and non provocative attacks on the complex and forgiving Muslim world of the Crusades? In other words, Should Crusade really be condemned?

Osama bin Laden certainly thinks so. With his various video shows, he never explained the US war with terror as a new crusade against Islam. Former Bill Clinton president also used the Crusaders as the root cause of the current conflict. In the speech at Georgetown University he reviewed (and decorated) the Jewish massacre after the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem in 1099.

There are many crusaders in history, but the most famous and important crusaders in history occurred in medieval regions known as Levant. Levant is an eastern Mediterranean region and is now home to Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. The crusade was a series of religious wars of the Christian kingdom against the Muslim kingdom, which started in 1096 and ends in 1291. The purpose of the Crusaders was to help Christians of the Byzantine Empire repel attacks on Seljuk Turks and revive occupied Christian sacred Byzantines from Muslim armies in 638-641.

There were many Crusades during the crusade's nearly 200 years. The most successful was the first Crusade (1096 - 1099). Buffon's Godfrey, St. By Gil's Raymond, Taranto's Poshmund, Vermandova's Hugh, in August 1096, four big Christian troops left Byzantium on their way to the sanctuary. The capital city of Constantinople. After occupying the capital city of Anatolia of Senac, the crusader occupied Syria's Antioch in 1099 and finally occupied Jerusalem. These conquests and the success of others made it possible for the Crusaders to establish a permanent solution in the sanctuary. These Crusader countries or kingdoms are concentrated in Jerusalem, Antioch, Edessa, Tripoli. These new kingdoms are reinforced by a powerful fortress and a castle. The most famous Crusader Castle and Syria's Crack de Chevalier have been there ever since.
