Summary

Before the Crusades became legends of knights, battles, and holy wars, they were born from fear, ambition, and fractured worlds. The Crusades – Part I: Seeds of Conflict pulls you into the tense centuries leading up to the first call for war, where faith collided with power and empires stood on the brink of collapse. From divided Christian kingdoms and a struggling Byzantine Empire to the rising strength of Islamic powers in the East, this book reveals the forces quietly shaping history before swords were ever drawn. Sebastian Cruz brings clarity and momentum to a complex past, uncovering the rivalries, misunderstandings, and bold decisions that made the Crusades inevitable. Gripping, accessible, and richly detailed, Seeds of Conflict sets the stage for an epic struggle that would redefine the medieval world and whose consequences still echo today.
