@nicmorton.bsky.socialWhat a fabulous evening! It was an absolute privilege to attend the official book launch for Dan Jones' brilliant new book "Castles: A fortified history of the world."

I talked to @nicmorton.bsky.social about the Crusades as part of the larger history of the medieval Near East, and how and why we should understand the Crusades as more than just wars about religion.
