The Crusades: Victories or Defeats? - documentary

Which Crusades succeeded and which Crusades failed? This documentary examines the successes and failures of the Crusades of the medieval era. We look at the "numbered" Crusades to the eastern Levant, including the First Crusade and the taking of Jerusalem, Richard the Lionheart's epic showdown with Saladin, and Louis IX's invasion of Egypt.
