The Cross and the Sword: Witnessing the First Crusade

In 1095, a Pope's call ignited a fire that would engulf continents. What was it truly like to march in the First Crusade?

Join me, Ethan Cross, as I travel back to witness one of history's most epic, brutal, and transformative events. From the fervent crowds at Clermont vowing 'Deus Vult!' to the grueling march across Europe and the deadly plains of Anatolia, I document the incredible faith, devastating hardships, and brutal warfare faced by the knights and pilgrims who answered the call.

Experience the awe before the walls of Constantinople, the chaos of the Siege of Nicaea, the grim determination during the long Siege of Antioch, and finally, the emotional arrival at the gates of Jerusalem itself. This is an unflinching look at the human cost of holy war and the indomitable spirit of an age driven by faith and the sword.
