À propos de cet audio

What if the Crusades aren't simply a moral outrage but a complex defensive response shaped by centuries of upheaval? In this 2-minute summary (original 21 minutes), host Philion reframes the Crusades with context: a mostly-Christian Middle East in 600 A.D., Arab conquests, jizya taxes, Byzantine decline, Seljuk attacks, and Emperor Alexios I’s plea that led Pope Urban II to call a multinational Christian response. You'll get concise takeaways on the First Crusade, the creation of crusader states, the logistical and moral complications, and why some contemporaries saw the campaigns as safeguarding Christendom’s eastern flank. Keywords: Crusades, Byzantine, Pope Urban II, Jerusalem, Seljuk Turks, jizya, medieval history. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
