The Crusades
I put out a general request for some knowledgeable person to start a thread on the Crusades, and no one did, so I am taking it upon myself to start the thread, because I like reading about history even tho I'm not good at it!
The Crusades have come up in two threads lately (the entertainment forum, about the movie The Kingdom of Heaven, and one of the religious-discussion threads), and there's lots of good info being posted. So I hope you guys that have studied this subject will post here so we can centralize the discussion. Would some knowledgeable person please start us off by perhaps giving a general background and an overview of the Crusades?
