Crusaders were ruthless conquerors taking soil. Actually, those that founded the Templer Order and its several parts were knights trained to protect their people living around their castles from striding bandits that awaited their most loved once back from the pilgramage to Jerusalem seeing them never come back and went looking for them.
The Jews for centuries sing next year in Jerusalem, for Christians it is the place Jesus preached and for all good traders and scientists the meeting spot with the people east full of exchange back in a time in which most walked on journies. That is about 30 km per day, 70 on horseback and you only sail when there is wind.
Jerusalem was leaving for about a year, maybe more.
The Deutsch Herren Orden had found a new business model and blamed the Moslems....no matter the consequences recruited in a Hospital in Bremen from alcohl sicks.
How sad must these men in Europe have been when their relatives left for years knowing it was a dangerous journy just because of the distance. How much more sad must they have been when they did not come back way past the agreed time and what bitter taste must the holy land had for them knowing that their loved once were killed and their bodies made disappear for what they carried.
Crue Sade means Brutal and Sad.
And how brutal must these men in superior armour and weaponry have hit the bandits, to miss them hiding among themselves, to retaliate murder of the most innocent.
As a matter of fact, if we have today house numbers from Arabia, there cannot have been only war among us. If the banking system was founded by Templars based on Moslem example, we must have had good exchange.
And someone was realy good in hiding and interpretating history realy badly later.
Your time has come German Herren Order lifestyle. What was Mozart and Goethe? And do you neend a doctor to be healthy to when you are sick? Do you scratch when it itches.....
