Born amid immense suffering and bloodshed, the Kingdom of Jerusalem remained a battlefield for almost 200 years.

The Crusades gave rise to the Military Orders of the Templars and Hospitallers, and served as a backdrop to the careers of some of history's most famous leaders, including Richard 'The Lionheart' and Saladin. At times, the savagery of the Crusaders left their opponents reeling, creating frictions that survived for more than 700 years.

This book describes and illustrates the events of The Crusades, and explores how art, architecture and learning all benefited from the new knowledge the Crusaders brought back from the East.
