History of the Crusades
Over 900 years ago, thousands of Christians invaded the Middle East, intent on taking the Holy Land from the Muslims. The following 200 years were marked by a series of military campaigns known as the Crusades. Join us to follow the history of the Crusades from 1095 onwards. Castles, battles, religious clashes, Richard the Lionheart, the Assassins, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Saladin, the Knights Templar - all will feature as we examine one of the most interesting periods in history.

All you will need to whet your interest in the Crusades to regain the Holy Land. Plenty of detail, useful asides, concise episodes, good pacing. You will enjoyment listening to stories so well read and organised. Sharon’s tempo is slower and very pleasant listening. Further series on Moorish Spain, other Crusades follow and are just as captivating.

Thanks Sharyn for a wonderful podcast! I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in the period; good pacing, informative, well researched and, at times, amusing.
Well worth the listen!

Thorough history detailing ALL the crusades, even ones you’ve never heard of. Brilliant narration, highly enjoyable, and quite funny. If you like a brief overview of events, pass on by, because this goes deep! Thank you Sharon for keeping me company while I cook dinner each night for the past year (and the intro music works to get my wife’s appetite up)
