A detailed history of the Crusades, told by the author of bestsellers "The Templars" and "The Plantagenets," Dan Jones. For over 1000 years, Christians and Muslims lived side by side, sometimes in peace, and sometimes at war. But when in 1099 Christian armies captured Jerusalem, the most infamous period of conflict between the two religions began. Expanding beyond the usual temporal boundaries, Jones delves into the origins of Christian-Muslim relations in the 8th century and traces the influence of the Crusades to the present day. He also broadens the geography of events, taking the reader to Spain, North Africa, southern France, and the Baltic countries, where "enemies of the Church" also lived. By telling the stories of individual participants in the Crusades, Jones shows these centuries of conflict not only from the perspectives of popes and kings but also through the eyes of an Arab-Sicilian poet, a Byzantine princess, a Sunni scholar, a Shiite vizier, a Mongol military leader, and simple Christian monks.
