About this listen

Sol Bishop examines why Christendom launched the Crusades, tracing events from the 636 Battle of Yarmuk through Pope Urban II's 1095 call to arms. The episode covers four centuries of Islamic expansion into Christian territories, the 1003 destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the 1071 Battle of Manzikert, and competing scholarly interpretations of these conflicts as both defensive response and religious imperialism.
