A Listen and Learn Series BACKGROUND TO THE CRUSADES

on Network Three

A series of seven programmes
4-The Second and Third Crusades by Sir Steven Runciman
The Second Crusade, which went in 1147 to help the Latin States against a vigorous new Turkish enemy Nur ed Din, was, Sir Steven Runciman says, a fiasco. He continues the story with an account of the avenging Third Crusade which set out in 1190 and whose leaders included the English King, Richard Coeur de Lion.
