Life as a Knight During the Crusades in 12 Minutes

Knights Spent 14 Years Training to Kill. Most Died Before Ever Swinging a Sword. | The Crusades For three centuries, Europe trained an entire class of armored warriors to be the deadliest fighters on earth, then marched them across the known world to recapture one city. But most never reached a battlefield. They died of dysentery, starvation, and heatstroke, sealed inside their own armor. In this video, we follow the knight from childhood to holy war: a seven-year-old sent away to learn how to kill, a Pope who promised that fighting for God would erase every sin, an army that ran out of water miles from the only spring in the region, and the most feared military order in the medieval world, destroyed not by an enemy army but by the king who owed it money.
