ASTRID ESSED'S VIEWS ON THE CRUSADES/ASTRID ESSED VERSUS
''REAL CRUSADES HISTORY''/NO EXCUSE FOR RICHARD COEUR DE
LION'S MASSACRE AT AYYADIEH''
SEE ALSO
READERS!
In contrary with commonly accepted views in the Western world
[although there IS a change of opinion nowadays], the Crusades in
the Middle Ages were not some heroic and noble religious cause
[although many participants probably really though they were],
but bloody warsof conquest for land, greed and wealth.
I hope in the future to write more about this!
But for now Readers, my Facebook comment on the page of
''Real Crusaders History'', because I strongly object the euphemistic
way they described the massacre of Ayyadieh on the orders of
the Norman English King [''Norman'', because he was the
great great grandson of William the Conqueror and as the second Plantagenet
king, he was still strongly ''French Norman'' oriented] [1]
By blaming Richard's adversary Sultan Saladin [who in reality defended the Holy Land, Palestine, against the Crusader invaders!] [2] for the Ayyadieh Massacre
''Real Crusaders History'' is ''blaming the victim'' here.
The organizer and commander king Richard is off the hook, and Sultan
Saladin, whose men were victims of the slaughter, gets the blame.
That is a travesty of the real history, so I commented that on their page:
And in my comment you can see a glimpse of the way I see the Crusades:
Perhaps I write more about it.
But for now:
