The era of the Crusades is one of the most famous in the history of mankind, a time described in novels, poems, shown in films. A time when suddenly hundreds of European knights - and not only knights - rose from their homes, left their homes and castles, and some even mortgaged or sold all their property - just to go to war in the distant lands, in the incomprehensible and distant Holy Land, to win back the Holy Sepulcher from the Muslims. However, today scientists see that the crusaders had other goals, besides those that were so loudly spoken about. The incredible events of the Crusades will be discussed in the new issue of “History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman” BOOKS S. Luchitskaya. The Crusades: Idea and Reality. F. Uspensky. History of the Crusades. Dan Jones. The Templars: Birth and Death of the Great Order. Walter Scott. The Talisman. * Support the release of new history lessons on the Patreon platform — / eidelman * Support the release of new history lessons by becoming a sponsor on YouTube – / @tamaraeidelmanhistory Subscribe to us on social networks, where we regularly publish additional stories: * Subscribe to Tamara Natanovna on Instagram — / tamaraeidelman * Subscribe to our Telegram channel — https://t.me/eidelman * Subscribe to our Facebook page — / eidelmantn * Subscribe to our VKontakte page — https://vk.com/eidelmantn * Subscribe to Tamara Natanovna's channel on Yandex Zen — https://zen.yandex.ru/tamaraeidelman 00:00 -Introduction.
