Nice post on the crusades. One might also point out that while the Crusades to the Holy Land are the most familiar, various campaigns against heretics in France and pagans and heretics in the Baltic region are also sometimes reffered to as such and were primarily undertaken by religious orders of knighthood such as the Templars. These crusades form the final bridge between Crusade and Inquisition.
