The First Crusade: A New History (2005) by Thomas Asbridge. Simply a wonderful account of this misunderstood event. The players are appreciated for both their religious and avaricious intents. Where holes in history obscure elucidation, and there are many, the author wisely offers speculations with the caveat that they are as such. Well written on all accounts. Merci beaucoup.
