Publisher's note: The First Crusade: The Untold Story is the first book, however, to address the history of the expedition from the perspective of Constantinople. It argues that, contrary to received wisdom, the Byzantine Empire and its ruler -- the Emperor Alexios I Komnenos -- were facing annihilation on the eve of the Crusade, and that the situation in Asia Minor and in Constantinople had been unravelling rapidly and disastrously from the start of the 1090s. It was for this reason that pleas for military support were made to the papacy u as well as to prominent aristocrats in Western Europe around this time. With its themes of the rise of the papacy, the confrontation between Christianity and Islam, the evolution of the concept of holy war, of knightly piety and religious devotion, it is not surprising that the First Crusade has proved enduringly popular, capturing the imagination of a wide audience for centuries. In this fascinating and innovative study, Frankopan brilliantly shifts the paradigm and asks vital questions that have never been posed before.
