The story of the Crusades as told in the words of those who lived through them by JOHN SCOTNEY
4: The Lion of the North
'A few years ago the realm of Jerusalem met with great misfortune. The
Sepulchre of Christ was lost to us. Then great and humble alike were cast down and forgotten were dances, song and every earthly joy.'
The Crusade of the Kings, 1187-92, Richard of England, Philip of France and Frederick, Emperor of Germany. The attempt to retake Jerusalem. The honour and the mutual respect of Richard and Saladin.
Music by PHILIP PICKETT and the NEW LONDON CONSORT Directed by SHAUN MACLOUGHUN BBC Bristol
