The Crusades: A Complete Guide

Dan Snow’s History Hit
Contains some violent scenes.

Available for over a year

To launch our mini series on the Crusades, we've put together your complete guide to almost two centuries of holy war. We untangle faith, politics and myth, and reveal how the Crusades reshaped Europe, the Middle East and relations between Islam and Christianity forever. For this series we're joined by Steve Tibble, author of many books on the Crusades, including 'The Crusader Armies: 1099 - 1187'. Produced by James Hickmann and McKenna Fernandez, and edited by Jhenelle White. All music from Epidemic Sounds/All3Media. Dan Snow's History Hit is a History Hit podcast.
