From the Cover:
This book investigates why the crusading movement, launched in 1095 to liberate the Holy
Places, became so popular and successful, and goes on to describe the cosmopolitan society
of the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem and the challenges faced. It concludes with a brief
account of the extension of the crusades to other theatres of war in Spain, Greece and the
eastern Baltic and an assessment of the long-term effects the crusades had on western
society.
