El Cid and Pope Urban's call for the Crusade at Claremont. And don't forget the Real Crusades History website!
The histories of El Cid and the First Crusade run almost parallel. In this documentary series, we'll take a look at the final years of El Cid, the most remarkable warrior of medieval Spain. It was during the late eleventh century that El Cid achieved his most outstanding victories, including the conquest of Valencia. We'll also look at the dramatic history of the First Crusade, starting with Pope Urban II's speech at Claremont - the most impactful speech in history.

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.
