It is time to talk to historian Nic Morton again, we last discussed the Mongols and today are talking about the Crusades and crusading warfare. We talk about why it is a problematic idea to paint the Crusades as simply an East versus West or Christian versus Muslim conflict. We talk about the military challenges confronted by the Crusaders when besieging Jerusalem and the later problems they encountered when building a kingdom with the holy city as its capital. We discuss religious relics and whether anyone actually believed the Holy Lance (discovered during the siege of Antioch) saved the Crusaders. And, of course, we evaluate the military tactics of each side and the best leaders.
