About this episode

This is our last chance to talk about the Crusades on this podcast. So I put listener questions to Dr Nicholas Morton. Dr Morton is Associate Professor in Middle Eastern and Global history at Nottingham Trent University in the UK. His research focuses on the history of the Crusades and the Medieval Middle East between the tenth and the fourteenth centuries. He has written four other books on Crusading and the Crusader states as well as The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East.  His new book The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Wars for the Middle East is available now.
