As to the crusades, whilst I don't condone all the killing the crusaders did, or support the theology behind them, they were not entirely unprovoked. In fact, the Turks and others had been attacking the Byzantine (Greek speaking Eastern Roman) Empire and Europe for centuries, and had taken over a lot of territory. In fact not long before the 1st Crusade the Byzantine Emperor had appealed for help from the West, after there had been a huge battle in which they had suffered a terrible defeat. <br /><br />BTW, I would be interested in entering the giveaway. dizzy(dot)b(at)live(dot)co(dot)ukEnglish Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806974885775295349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-29170555640370761132013-05-08T14:26:25.295-04:002013-05-08T14:26:25.295-04:00Barbara, now you have me daydreaming about knights...Barbara, now you have me daydreaming about knights...:o) You're welcome.

Chivalry did have its dark side. The Crusades arose out of the religious fervor that informed chivalry. Yes, oath-breaking might lead to death and worse: damnation of the knight's soul.
