    There are no photos of the Crusades. They all took place long before the advent of photography.

    That is an interesting Knight you have there though, an impressive looking chap. Hospitaller? The flag is that of Jerusalem though, if memory serves.

    I've found that in general, Crusade artwork is severely lacking. The Templars get a fair bit of attention, but even they are usually drawn weird. And regular Latin troops and the Egyptians hardly get any attention.

    Shouldn't this go into the Art section instead of the History section?

    haha the scarlet crusade one made me lol
    You have a certain mentality, a "you vs them" and i know it is hard to see, but it is only your imagination which makes up enemies everywhere. I haven't professed anything but being neutral so why Do you feel the need to defend yourself from me?. Truly What are you defending? when there is nobody attacking?

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

And then one of the prisoners came, stood by me for a while, put a hand on my shoulder and said to me, something that I will never forget: ''Tränen sind denn nicht genug, mein Junge,
