From the foundation of the Crusader States in 1097 to Saladins conquest of Jerusalem a century later, the medieval Middle East was transformed by war, trade, alliances and ambition.Acclaimed historian Nicholas Morton brings this dramatic history to life through a vivid cast of characters: a Byzantine renegade, a crusader princess, a Turkish matriarch, a young Arab nobleman, a Syriac archbishop, Saladins leading commander and Egypts vizier.

Their intertwined stories reveal a dynamic world in which weapons and ideas crossed borders, reshaping societies across Europe and beyond.

Join him to discover how these epic campaigns changed East and West forever.
