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.

“A Review of “In Starvation’s Shadow: The Role of Logistics In The Strained Byzantine-European Relations During The First Crusade” by Gregory D. Bell. It was published in the journal The Byzantion in 2010. Bell argues how a lack of constant food supply to the Crusaders, was a catalyst for strained relations between the Crusaders and the Byzantines.”
