medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
What surprises me is that just decades before the the first crusade begins,
Christians are making pilgrimages to Jerusalem unmolested. Once the crusades
begin, I believe this ends. Explain the reason for the first crusade again?
It seems to have been ill conceived and eventualy closed Jerusalem to Christian
pilgrimages. Comments?
