Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A concise, student-oriented survey of the early Crusades, from the calling of the First Crusade in 1095 through to the late 12th century. The book combines narrative and thematic chapters — covering the First, Second and Third Crusades; establishment and consolidation of the Latin East; military orders; warfare and castle-building; and cultural, religious and political effects on both Europe and the Near East. Designed for undergraduates and general readers, it offers accessible yet scholarly treatment, with maps, primary-source documents, chronology, and bibliography to support further study.
