People have lots of different words they use to describe crusaders, but for those living in the Holy Land during the crusades, “criminals” might just be the first word that came to mind. This week, Daniele speaks with Steve Tibble about why there was so much crime committed by men who were supposed to be holy warriors, and what people did about it.
Steve Tibble is a graduate of Cambridge and London Universities, and is a research associate at Royal Holloway College, University of London. He is one of the foremost academics currently working in the field of the crusades with his latest book, Crusader Criminals: The Knights Who Went Rogue in the Holy Land, published by Yale University Press.
