Jerusalem in the Twelfth Century (with Dr. John Hosler)

'tis but a scratch: fact and fiction about the Middle Ages

In this episode, my very special guest Dr. John Hosler draws upon the research he undertook for his book Jerusalem Falls: Seven Centuries of War and Peace (Yale University Press, 2022) to discuss what Jerusalem meant in the thought and imagination of Christians and Muslims in the twelfth century, and the role the city played in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. As John is a professor at the Army's Command and General Staff College, we also chat a bit about teaching military history to military officers.
This episode contains a short sound bite from the movie "Kingdom of Heaven"
