Now before you close this video ā I am not saying religion didn't matter. I am not saying the Pope calling for holy war in 1095, or Muslim scholars preaching jihad in the mosques of Damascus, were irrelevant. What I am saying is that when you actually get into the granular, messy, complicated reality of how Muslim and Frankish rulers actually behaved toward one another across the 2 centuries of Crusades ā the clash of civilisations narrative falls apart almost immediately. And the evidence for that is hiding in the chronicles that most people have never read.
