Dr Thomas Asbridge presents his account of the Crusades, the 200-year war between Christians and
Muslims for control of the Holy Land. The story of the Crusades is remembered as a tale of religious
fanaticism and unspeakable violence, but now fresh research, eyewitness testimony, and contemporary
evidence from both the Christian and Islamic worlds shed new light on how these two great religions
waged war in the name of God.

1. Holy War
Episode one traces the epic journey of the first crusaders, as they marched 3,000 miles from Europe
to recapture the city of Jerusalem from Islam, enduring starvation, disease and bloodthirsty battle
to reach their sacred goal, and then unleashed an appalling tide of barbaric violence upon their
Muslim enemies. Yet far from being the invincible holy warriors of legend, Dr Asbridge reveals that
these crusaders actually considered surrender in the midst of their titanic expedition.
