Austin Kelly

J. Stephen Roberts, a medieval historian and creator of the Real Crusades History YouTube channel, teams up with Austin Kelly, producer of the Knights of the Cross series. They dive into the misunderstood legacy of the Crusades, arguing for the historical justification of these campaigns as a response to Muslim expansion. The discussion uncovers Richard the Lionheart's heroism and addresses how modern narratives often misrepresent the Crusaders. They also highlight the importance of understanding these historical contexts in light of contemporary views.
