Between the Crescent and the Cross Episode 8 - The Last Crusade

<p>"Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." - William Shakespeare Julius Caesar</p> <p>In this episode I cover the end of the Crusades as a movement with the fall of Constantinople and the rise of the Ottomans. But this battle was more than the end of the Crusades, it was the end of the whole Medieval Era. I also summarize this series and analyze lessons we can learn from the Crusades! </p> <p>Image: Siege of Constantinople, Bertrandon de la Broquière in Voyages d'Outremer, 1455</p>
