Because I'm very, very bored
Jun. 15th, 2005 02:01 pmWith memorising this essay plan, I wrote an essay. And now I'm typing it up here. Technically, it's still study.
( What historical problems are associated with naming the period c.1000-1250 'The Crusading Period'? )
1"Justade" is a word I made up just then, which comes from the English word "Justice" and means literally "A War of Justice", which of course suggests that the western worlds actions in these wars have been entirely motivated by Justice, by people extreme in their righteousness.
Well, it amused me.
By the way, the similarities between the most pointless and bloodthirsty battles in the thus-far history of Mankind [AKA the Crusades] and the "War on Terror" are quite terrifying. You'd have thought we would have learnt something about ethics... or whatever... in the past Seven Hundred and Fifty Five bloody years!
And, finally: While fun, Kingdom of Heaven is utterly laughable from a historic viewpoint. Utterly laughable. But good. Well, I liked it. And it's trebuchets.
I'm done. History is something akin to love.
