The Crusades
Documentary
For nearly 200 years, Christian and Muslim forces fought over Jerusalem and the Holy Land, in a conflict shaped by siege warfare, shifting alliances, and rival claims of faith and power. With contributions from Tom Asbridge and Kate Raphael, the series follows the major campaigns of the Crusades and the leaders behind them, from the first invasions to the long struggle for control of sacred ground. Medieval military strategy and battlefield tactics sit alongside the political and religious pressures that kept the war going across generations.
