Description

What were the forces that led to one of history's most protracted and legendary periods of conflict? How did they affect the three great civilizations that participated in them? And, ultimately, why did they end and what did they accomplish?

In these 36 lectures, you'll look at the "big picture" of the Crusades as an ongoing period of conflict involving Western Christendom (we would now call it Western Europe), the Byzantine Empire, and the Muslim world. From this perspective, you'll study the complex but absorbing causes of the Crusades, which include the many political, cultural, and economic changes in Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. You'll examine the Crusades in terms of the specific military campaigns-the eight "canonical" Crusades that took place from 1095-1291-proclaimed to retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim hands and return them to Christendom. You'll consider the immediate circumstances-the leaders, purposes, key battles, and degrees of success or failure-surrounding these often-monumental expeditions.

You'll also explore a wide variety of misperceptions and long-debated questions about the Crusades:

  • Did the popes preach the Crusades as a way to increase their personal power and authority?
  • Why did the members of the Fourth Crusade decide to sack Constantinople, turning the Crusades from Christian against "infidel" to Christian against Christian?
Taken together, these historically rich lectures are an opportunity to appreciate fully how Western Civilization changed in many profound ways during the Crusading era.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

informative

informative but absolutely terrible narration, if you took the 'um's and 'uh's out it would probably shorten it considerably- and they definitely make is seem like the narrator is unfamiliar with the subject matter.

Interesting span of history

The Crusades took place over such a long span of time that it’s a lot to take in (so many lectures!). Helpful to learn from someone who knows his stuff and is so passionate.

A Fresh Perspective on the Crusades

It has become very common to view the Crusades in a negative light - Dark Aged European Christian fanaticism, greed and bloodlust against the glorious Islamic Empire. Dr. Harl presents a far more nuanced and complex analysis of this historical period without resorting to simplistic stereotypes that often plague this discussion. This is definitely a great resource for deepening your understanding of turn Crusades and dispelling popular myths.
