Istoriia krestovykh pokhodov - Ers Zhak

In his book, the outstanding French historian Jacques Ayres covers the entire history of the crusader epic, thoughtfully parsing each of its stages: the origins of the Crusades, the causes and backgrounds, the military history of the campaigns, the formation of Christian states in the East at the junction of two civilizations - western and eastern, the composition and mindset of the Crusaders, relations with the local population. The book details previously little-known pages of the history of the Crusades, such as the creation of Latin principalities on the site of the former Byzantine Empire. For a wide range of readers.
