This book is dedicated to the glorious period of the Middle Ages, shrouded in romance and knightly exploits - the era of the Crusades. The Crusades were religious military expeditions that took place from the late 11th to the late 13th century under the slogan of fighting for the liberation of the Holy Land and the Holy Sepulchre from Muslims. The book is based on the famous work "Universal History" by the outstanding French historians Ernest Lavisse and Alfred Rambaud, translated by M. Gershenzon, one of the best translators of the 20th century. You will learn about the background and main events of the Crusades, the glorious battles, bitter defeats, and exhausting marches, about the kings and military leaders who led armies of knights, about the struggle for power and intrigues of the Catholic Church, about the creation of religious orders, and much more. The book is illustrated with antique engravings, drawings from medieval manuscripts, and masterpieces of historical painting.
