History Documentary hosted by Jeremy Freeston, published by History Channel in 2019 - English narration
Information
------------------------------
These are the REAL stories of the medieval Knights who dedicated their entire lives to God and to the fight against His enemies...the men of the Holy Orders ...The CRUSADERS.
Spanning most of the High Middle Ages (1050-1300 CE), a series of military expeditions called the Crusades was launched from Christian Europe against the peoples of the Near East. The Crusades were military campaigns organised by popes and Christian western powers to take Jerusalem and the Holy Land back from Muslim control and then defend those gains.
With a cry of "God wills it!" medieval knights ushered in a new era in European history. Across Europe a wave of pious enthusiasm led many thousands to leave their homes, family, and friends to march to distant lands in a great struggle for Christ.
This is the real story of the famous medieval knights. If any single image epitomises the medieval era in the popular imagination, it is that of the heroic, chivalrous knight. Clad in shining armour, sword at the ready, his home is the magnificent castle on the hill and his steed is his constant companion. But what are the truths behind these colourful myths and legends?
In THE CRUSADERS we discover the real stories of the medieval knights who dedicated their entire lives to God, and delve deeper into the history behind the popular image of heroic, chivalrous knights. Through episodes on The Knights Templar, The Teutonic Knights, and The Knights of Lazurus and St John, this series aims to find out. These are the real stories of the medieval Knights who dedicated their entire lives to God and to the fight against His enemies...the men of the Holy Orders ...The Crusaders.

1) The Knights Templar
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon are known to history as the Knights Templar. They were among the most wealthy and powerful of all of the western military orders and for the 200 hundred years of their existence, were at the forefront of Christian finance.
A look at the wealthiest of all the western military orders. Endorsed by the Catholic Church around 1129, these are Templar knights, and this is their story. If any single image epitomises the medieval era in the popular imagination, it is that of the heroic, chivalrous Knight. Clad in shining armour, his story was first told by authors in the 19th century before being carried on by Hollywood. But what are the truths behind the myths and legends? The Crusaders aims to find out.
