On this episode of History Hit’s Gone Medieval podcast, Matt Lewis speaks with TMW’s Natasha Hodgson on the Second and Third Crusades. The episode covers the history of the Latin East and crusading in the twelfth century, looking in particular at the involvement of women like Melisende and Sybil, queens of Jerusalem, crusading queens like Eleanor of Aquitaine, and lesser-known participants like Margaret of Beverley, who fought on the walls of Jerusalem with a cooking pot on her head.
