The history of Latin pilgrims and residents in Palestine was marked by both prosperity and turmoil, influenced by the varying characters of rulers rather than the laws of Islam. The propagation of Islam was driven by religious fervor and warfare, leading to the subjugation of Christian nations, which were treated with a degree of humanity by their conquerors. The narrative also highlights the moral upheaval in Europe as individuals from all walks of life responded to calls for crusades, often disregarding societal norms, and the need for a comprehensive historical account of the Crusades in the English language remains evident.
