The First Crusade - Episode 16: The Battle of Antioch, 1098

Real Crusades History #20

Antioch is in Crusader hands. Kerbogha's enormous Turkish army is outside of the city, encircling it, prepared to starve the Crusaders out. Now, faced with no other option, the Crusaders, led by Bohemond, decide to directly take on Kerbogha's army in battle. The odds are heavily against the tiny, beleaguered Christian army. Will they survive?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
