In 1096, Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade, calling Christian knights to reclaim the Holy Land. But behind the holy war lay a dark truth: crusaders committed widespread abuse against women. Promised glory and salvation, many saw captured women as spoils of war. Wartime violence was tragically common on both Christian and Muslim sides and often accepted as a brutal norm of medieval conflict. Historian Andrew Holt reveals how Crusader violence extended far beyond the battlefield. On Binge History, we expose the unspeakable treatment of women during the Crusades and the twisted values that justified it.
