If you are really interested, you should check out Sir Stephen Runciman's books on the Crusades...

yes it interests me a lot,
which crusades does his book talk about?

All of them. The first book covers the 1st Crusade. The second book covers the heydays of the Crusader states, while the third book covers the decline and fall of the crusader states. Great books...

Runciman is the man...very nice to read, at least the first two books. You really feel part of it.

Yep, guess I have to read them again soon. Might be an idea to brush up my knowledge of the different Bohemond's and Godfrey's before the "Crusader Kings" game is launched...

very good, the first crusader is the one i prefer.
and it will be great to play that period with the new paradox's game.
