The Noble Crusaders
Who were the Crusaders? This is a question that is brought up frequently because the Crusades are a very interesting and important topic. The Crusaders were a band of men fighting for their religion and their freedom. When you became a crusader, it meant taking up your cross (Lyon 926). These men fought many bloody battles and trampled many lands. The real reason that they were fighting was to recapture the Holy Land, which had been taken by the Muslims. The Crusaders are an important topic, and hopefully this fundamental pilgrimage will be exhilarating enough.
