Your videos are a treasure. The best part is your academic integrity and scholarship. Using primary sources is a complete rarity today and allows the viewer to make honest assessments as to the voracity of the truth of a situation. Although you do bring in other points of view of other historians you still leave what actually happened open. That shows honesty and integrity, thanks!

I think one of the reason for the difference in between the treatment at Antioch and Edessa you mentioned was the supply situation of the crusaders. I mean at Antioch the area around and the city supplies were depleted so feeding the captives would be very hard. While at Edessa the situation was not as dire, supply wise so they could afford to keep them alive.

I am so addicted to this entire series. Good job, me droogie.

des .>But there were some Welshmen on the Third Crusade. One of them, a man called Marcaduc, engaged in a test of skill with an enemy archer at the siege of Tyre. The skill was archery, something for which the men of South Wales were particularly famed. Unsurprisingly Marcaduc won the test and killed his Saracen challenger. Clearly the Welsh had a significant military skill to contribute to the crusading armies.

jonathan piccone Truces were very common, but for political reasons. The only thing I can think of like that is a story in usama ibn munqidh. He describes a story in which he was in Jerusalem with a frank whom he considered a friend, when a Frankish woman approached him claiming he had killed her husband. This attracted a crowd of franks who wanted to kill usama, but usama's Frankish friend convinced the woman she was mistaken, thereby saving his life. I think I'll make a video on that it's quite interesting.

Hi J. Stephen, this is great and thanks, however ".. did them no evil but drove lances into their bellies .." is probably a euphemism for sex. A medieval lance was 12-14 feet long and murdering captives is probably close up work in a pre-industrial society. If you want to make the assumption Fulcher was being alliterative about the mechanics of killing you have many many questions to answer. All in all great work and thanks for this.

That's what I first thought, but the phrase "did them no evil" is obviously referring to rape. So I definitely agree that it was fulcher being alliterative and not a euphemism for sex.

Are you sure "did them no evil" didnt mean that they didn't kill them? And maybe when he says "drove lances in their bellies" that was a figure of speech for their tiny lance?? Just curious. I didnt know how much writers engaged in witty language back then, or is that far fetched?

@Anita McGuire I was thinking along those lines. I really wasnt sure how much riske' humor would have been part of the chronicle in those days. I was thinking surely "did them no evil" would have included murder which was after all a commandment. And also "driving lances into their bellies" seems a pretty obvious quip if a writer wanted to put out the rapey innuendo. However a serious and pious source may not have been able to put something like that out about his soldiers of God. But like you, I dont claim to be an expert. Just like thinking about things and and piecing things together.

Hah! "Did them no evil!" The good news is that I already understand what christians and Muslims thought was their right and what was completely unacceptable. Funny thing though, a lot of men back then (yes even Christian men) felt that the spoils of war was rightfully theirs, that included women. A lot of lords throughout time, yes during the crusades, took mistresses, concubines, and female slaves that they assigned to their wives or what might be considered women's work more or less to have them close enough to enjoy as they liked, regardless of what the church said was right.

Interestingly, whilst instances of biblical characters engaging in polygamy and concubinage are described in the bible, it is rarely portrayed as a healthy state of being. Again and again, old testament figures who chose to incorporate polygamy into their lives are depicted as consequently bringing division, grief, jealousy and violence into their households.

If you are asking sincerely, the O.T. is pretty straightforward… men, women, children and even their animals, were “put to the sword.” YHWH made it very clear that the Israelites were not to plunder or pillage the cities they conquered when conquering the Holy Land. The cities were “Dedicated to God” which means that they were not to profit from the conquest other than the land itself.
