'O day so ardently desired! O time of times the most memorable! O
deed before all other deeds!' The fall of Jerusalem in the summer
of 1099 to an exhausted and starving army of Western European
soldiers was one of the most extraordinary events of the Middle
Ages.It was both the climax of a great wave of visionary Christian
fervour and the beginning of what proved to be a futile and
abortive attempt to implant a new European kingdom in an
overwhelmingly Muslim world.The legacy of these events continues to
be argued over more than nine centuries later.This remarkable
collection of first-hand accounts brings to life the First Crusade
in all its cruelty and strangeness.
