Crusades: The Epic Begins

Alexius Comnenus, emperor of the Byzantine empire, ruled from Constantinople. To his East, the
Turks were rapidly encroaching on his empire, and had begun attacking pilgrims on their way to -
and in - Jerusalem, causing him great distress. He wrote to his friend Robert, the Count of
Flanders, in 1093, telling him about supposed atrocities committed by the Turks on the Christian
pilgrims. The Count passed this letter on to Pope Urban II. Urban, an opportunist, saw this as a
perfect way to solve some of his local problems (infighting). He personally promoted a Holy
Crusade to reclaim the Holy Lands from the barbarian Turks. Thus, the First Crusade was
launched in 1096 CE.

The Crusades Chess Set makes an ideal present for medieval history buffs or anyone captivated
by those days of old when knights were bold. The Pewter Crusades Braveries Chess Set is surely
a gift that will cherished for years to come.
