Laurel,
You are well ahead of me in your scholarship about the Crusades. I did know 
that they were devastating to large parts of Europe, and that it was a time 
of miracle seeking and visions. In desperation  people seek for heavenly 
rewards and the Crusades with promises of heaven and treasure must have 
seemed wonderful. However I was laughing at my vision of those gentlemen in 
the iron underpants walking around Jerusalem. I am sure they were not made 
for walking.
