Crusader Queens of Jerusalem
Podcast: Echoes of HistoryPublished On: Mon Jul 07 2025
Description: The very first Assassin's Creed video game takes us back to the Third Crusade, and the Kingdom of Jerusalem. As Saladin's Islamic armies tried to reconquer the Holy Land, the Christian rulers of Jerusalem faced as many threats from within as without - perhaps none moreso than Sybilla and Isabella, women who ruled in a men’s world.Matt Lewis is joined by Katherine Pangonis to help understand how these women rose to power - and held onto it - at such a perilous time.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.
