This 60-minute lecture will explore the Crusades through the eyes of the Eastern Christian Byzantine Empire.

The Crusades Through Byzantine EyesThe Crusades were a seminal event in world history, changing the course of Christian and Islamic history. Yet all too often, our accounts of the Crusades conflate the Christian world, obscuring the very different experience of the Crusades for the Eastern Christians of the Byzantine Empire. This discussion session seeks to correct this oversight, providing a look at the experience and impact of the Crusades for the Byzantine Empire. Each lecture is 60-minutes long and hosted on Zoom by NHM's own resident scholar, Dr. Katie Kelaidis. She is a historian and is passionate about how Greek history and culture are relevant so you can expect a lively discussion and exchange.
