According to tradition, the First Crusade began at Pope Urban II{u2019}s instigation and culminated in July 1099, when western European knights liberated Jerusalem. But what if the First Crusade{u2019}s real catalyst lay far to the east of Rome? Countering nearly a millennium of scholarship, Peter Frankopan reveals the First Crusade{u2019}s untold history.
