THIS WEEK! We are joined by Thomas W. Smith, and we discuss The famous First Crusade. Jerusalem has been captured by The Seljuk Turks 90 years before Pope Urban II, launched What would later be known as "The First Crusade". So why was there no holy war before? And how many people actually went on crusade? From the battle of Manzikert to the Road to crusade, the capture of Antioch, and the aftermath of the Crusade. All this, and much, much more this week on "Well That Aged Well". With "Erlend Hedegart".
