Welcome to the Crusades, Episode 1: Rome, 1095 | American Prestige
And now for something a little different: American Prestige has released the first two episodes of their standalone miniseries with the crew from We're Not So Different. Get the rest of the episodes here.
Our journey through the First Crusade starts where the Crusaders themselves did: in western Europe with Pope Urban II and the Council of Clermont. We’ll discuss conditions in Latin Christendom in the late 11th century, what prompted the Pope’s call for Crusade, and how it was received by European nobles.
