Crusader Criminals
Gone Medieval
Criminality and Chaos in the Crusades
This chapter explores the complex interplay between religious fervor and criminal behavior during the Crusades, revealing how participants often engaged in violent acts despite claims of holy intention. It highlights the unique historical context, where acts of kindness were so rare that they were noted as exceptional occurrences, and discusses the long-term societal impacts of this era of instability. By examining the role of environmental factors and the 'othering' of enemies, the chapter paints a vivid picture of moral decay and the normalization of violence within affected communities.
