When you really think about it, Cyprus was probably far more financially and strategically valuable than Jerusalem. I understand Jerusalem was incredibly important, religious-wise. But Cyprus would make supplying and reinforcing the Kingdom of Jerusalem so much easier, especially if one takes advantage of the large amounts of trade that occur in that region. Not to mention, Cyprus would be a great place to store crusading forces and plan a military campaign.

Absorbed all I could on the subject of Richard and the Crusades as a kid more than 40 years ago. The unprovables aside, the military exploits alone made him a giant of the Age.

Really enjoyed this. Very informative

... Most interesting! Thank you for this marvellous contribution as well as for your well informed guest's! Congratulations! 💕🍀⚘🌞

Love these podcast ..please keep them coming Would love to hear a podcast dedicated to the Turks or the Teutonic Order I have always wanted to know about the Teutonic Order but no one speaks of them. Please can you do a podcast or documentary on them alone THANK YOU.. And how is the book coming along..been a listener since 2000+ subs

Nice. Greetings from Cyprus and Merry Christmas.

Great stuff as always.

hey please do a vedio on Stephan 3 great, Moldovan. he had a fantastic record up against a much larger turk's. and was unbeaten up against them, won 46 out of 48 battles in his entire military campaign. a man of honor and a Pius Orthodox man he was the original badass CRUSADER from eastern Europe.

He was killed in the war. Big Brothers usually adore their little sisters. Strange topic since no one knows.

Is this podcast on podcast ? Or this just on KZread ?

Hey Stefan Molyneux did a truth about the Crusades video! Check it out.

But if it really kept it Richard liquid and then he sold it twice how did he leave England in so much debt. Then he gets himself captured and his ransom is crazy but Phillip pays even more to keep Richard in jail longer. I think Richard is a great general but a terrible king not to mention the fact he said he’d sell England if only he could find a buyer and only spent 6 months there and that was to tax. Not to mention going to war against his own dad. He gets no blame for his mistakes. Then he stupidly dies because he forgot to wear his gorget like how’d I you not notice that your neck is missing a big heavy piece of metal. Great brother to caused so many problems and John gets the blame for not being able to fix everything. He ruined everything Henry II built

It was John that ruined everything. At Richard's death the Angevin Empire was intact. Richard was a great king, it's a misunderstanding of the historical period in question that causes some people to believe he wasn't a good king.
