Thread Name: Explosions in London
Subject: RE: Explosions in London
Strictly speaking, the famous massacre (which was mostly of Christians and Jews, anyway) that took place when Jerusalem was stormed in 1098 had nothing much to do with King Richard. That was the first crusade, and it took place long before his birth. He was one of the leaders of the Third Crusade, which took place in the 1190s, and which was notable for nothing in particular.
