In the decades following the First Crusade, an isolated and outnumbered Frankish elite managed to establish four new states in the Levant. How were they able to do this? In this mini-series, Associate Professor Nicholas Morton explores the four main contributory factors. In this second episode, he considers the role played by their Muslim opponents’ disunity.
This episode is the second in a mini-series of four. The complete mini-series includes:
Ep.1: What role did military skill play?
Ep.2: What role did Muslim disunity play?
Ep.3: What role did political skill play?
Ep.4: What role did external support play?
This mini-series is based on:
The Crusader States and their Neighbours: A military history 1099-1187
Other recommended works by Associate Professor Nicholas Morton:
Encountering Islam on the First Crusade
The Field of Blood: The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Near East
