A closer look at the 1855 French book on the Crusades (“Les Croïsades”). Fancy, fancy. Still in the “Instagram Exclusives” section but will move to eBay soonish and go up in price. #thecrusades #rarebooks #frenchbooks #lescroisades #cartonnage #bookcollecting #booknerd #historybooks #shelfporn #booklust #bookporn #librariesofinstagram #usedbookstore https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQvJBQh596/?igshid=ekz4wntd5hlt

Another one of these rousing French Crusader songs. This was written by King Theobald I, a troubador, who argues that all valiant French men should go and fight in the Crusades.

Je viens de regarder la deuxième partie d’un documentaire concernant les Normands. Très étonnant! Je n’avais pas su que les arabes maintenaient une présence en Sicile.
