Byzantine Christian Relations Episode 2

In this episode of ‘Byzantine-Crusader Relations’ we look at how and why the First Crusade failed in its goal to reunite the Eastern and Western Christian churches. We discover that this failure was largely due to different expectations and goals on both sides.

The Children’s Crusade Episode 1

This podcast focuses on the Children’s crusade and the analysis that
Gary Dickson provides in it. The children’s crusade is often shrouded
in mystery, when it in fact is a simple case where children who wanted
to make a difference made it to Italy before dispersing.
