This Hub is a look at possible motivations for Pope Urban II and his call to the Crusades. I use some primary text sources to make my point.

61The Byzantine Woman of the Crusades
This is a fictional account of what it was like for a Byzantine (Greek) woman during the Crusades.

Inspired by a fellow hubber today, I found this story I had written long ago in my files and share with you. Enjoy!
