Even today, the legacy of these bitter religious wars is still felt. This book considers the main causes and events of the crusades, as well as their aftermath. It examines life in the Middle East. It looks too, at the crusaders themselves, from lowly peasants to knights and kings. Finally, it briefly explores the medieval wars fought by Roman Catholic Christians against non-Muslim enemies such as the Cathars. This book is one of a series which takes a fresh look at history by using original documents as the starting point for studying major events or periods in the past.
