In 1095, the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I requested help from the Christian states of Western Europe in his fight against the Turks. This led to the First Crusade, where armies of "armed pilgrims" marched across Europe to the Holy Land. They encountered a divided Islamic world and managed to take Jerusalem. However, this success was not repeated, leading to two centuries of wars with repercussions that are still felt today. The book examines the fortifications of the crusaders, paying special attention to emblematic places such as Krak des Chevaliers and Chastel Blanc.
