A History of the Crusades
A series of eight programmes presented by Malcolm Billings 4: The survival of the crusaders in the East was always finely balanced. In 1144, the crusader state of Edessa fell to the troops of Imad ad-Din Zengi. It was a severe shock to the West and led to calls for a new crusade. The
Pope responded with plans for a crusade not only to the Holy
Land but also to Spain, Portugal and the Baltic. But were his ambitions too grand and the Infidel too strong? The Battle of Hattin in 1187 was to be a turning point for the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Adrian Hamilton examines the regulation issues facing the practitioners, the Government and the Bank of England. Producer FRASER STEEL
