I'm looking for sources on heresy among crusaders. Which religions etc. did they bring to Europe...

by rafaelloBonParrt

Thank you.

Beep beep paging u/WelfOnTheShelf ...While this specific question hasn't been answered before, let me give you some links about crusaders and cultural interaction.

  • The Crusades and the Christian World of the East: Rough Tolerance by Christopher MacEvitt

But if you'd like to read something for free, there's two very relevant dissertations (Szoke, Schaller) and a paper (Jotischky) on the subject that I think you'll find helpful:

And now various helpful askhistorians answers...
