Lifted The Great Broadsword Comments

Yes the poem fits well the reasons for several of the crusades. I have read several of the major historical records and often thought deeply upon this subject. So many died even before getting to the Holy Lands. Yet having been to several of the crusader castles in Turkey and Israel, the history in belief is still felt. The record of the common man is largely missing from such records, the crosses carved into the walls, a history of their passing. A subject worthy of many more of your poems.10+
