Why did the medieval Church bless William of Normandy''s invasion of Christian England in 1066 and authorise cultural genocide in Provence? How could a Christian army sack Christian Constantinople in 1204? Why did thousands of ordinary men and women, led by knights and ladies, kings and queens, embark on campaigns of fanatical conquest in the world of Islam? The word ''Crusade'' came later, but the concept of a ''war for the faith'' is an ancient one.
