    What about visiting the Holocaust Museum in Berlin? I learned things about the Crusaders I wish I never heard of
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

        But you can ask Echty to sleep at his place, he won't kill you if you're not Italian

              I highly recommend the works of Sir Steven Runciman:



              Very detailed, but easy to read and highly enjoyable.
              If you don't like reality, change it! me
              "Oh no! I am bested!" Drake
              "it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong" Voltaire
              "Patriotism is a pernecious, psychopathic form of idiocy" George Bernard Shaw

                In my library from one of my crusades classes in college...

                Mayer's The Crusades
                Gabrieli's Arab Historians of the Crusades
                Peters' The First Crusade
                Peters' Christian Society and the Crusades: 1198-1229

                Good luck!
                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    Terry Jones did a series on the Crusades for the BBC.

                      I enjoyed Eric Christiansen's, The Northern Crusades.
                      He's got the Midas touch.
                      But he touched it too much!

                        I'd recommend the Runciman books to, but three volumes might prove daunting.

                        A good single issue introduction is:

                        Holt, P.M. The Age of the Crusades: The Near East from the Eleventh Century to 1517.
                        Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

                          Many internet users have been seen to plan meetings with Ecthy and never seen posting again.

                            So you're descended from one of those Thirty Years' War German cannibal clans, then ?
