      @RealCrusadesHistory  3 года назад

      Bishop Joscelin is an awesome hero in this story. I think the Viking experience in the 9th and 10th centuries really helped militarize the Church and laid the groundwork for the Crusades. People forget how violent life was in Latin Christendom during those two tumultuous centuries, and the Vikings were the biggest cause of that in France. Often, local authorities were impotent and churchmen had to get involved in the fight. This definitely helped shape the Crusades era, I would say.
