In which John Green teaches you about the Crusades embarked upon by European Christians in the 12th and 13th centuries. Our traditional perception of the Crusades as European Colonization thinly veiled in religion isn't quite right. John covers the First through the Fourth Crusades, telling you which were successful, which were well-intentioned yet ultimately destructive, and which were just plain crazy. Before you ask, no, he doesn't cover the Children's Crusade, in which children were provoked to gather for a Crusade, and then promptly sold into slavery by the organizers of said Crusade. While this story is charming, it turns out to be complete and utter hooey

The problem with many religious people of the past and the present, they think that the kingdom of the one whom they serve and follow was in this world yet not knowing that the kingdom that they must seek is the kingdom of heaven that was spoken by their holy scriptures, and that kingdom was not of this world but of heaven because it so clear on what it was been called on to, it is the -Kingdom Of Heaven- and not the kingdom of the world. You will never be able to see it here unless you first learn to bow down your heads and try to look from below what was the heaven truly looks like in above of the earth. It was not made up of earthly materials but made up of heavenly materials, that's why it was called the kingdom of heaven. It is the place beyond your imaginations. No bad intentions included, just telling some truth here, may peace be with you all.

When I think of motivations the crusaders had, I think of the peasants. If I were a peasant at the time, and somebody gave me the opportunity to go on a crusade, I would go without thinking twice. When you think about it, for those people it would be a choice of staying stuck on your farm working the same ol' field day after day, just as your family has for generations, or you can say -screw it all- and go off on a big adventure traveling across Europe with a bunch of other wistful people who want to get away from everything.

1: 40 crusaders didn't use bascinets, because the 9th crusade(the last) was in 1272 and the helmet in the picture is a bascinet, which were invented in 1330.

I can't find the video where John drops a quote from a historian about the middle ages (it being awful and full of sufferings and etc) Any idea?
