The Second Crusade: The Abbot of Clairvaux and the Deaths of Zenji and Joscelin II

Lets examine the aftermath of the fall of Edessa and the deaths of the leadership on both sides of the battle. We also go to France to hear the famous rallying speech by St. Bernard of Clairvaux that united empires, nations, kings, knights and common folks against Islam.Featured Sources:St. Bernard and the Theology of Crusade – J.
