When ever we think of the crusades we think of islam and Christianity the two biggest abrahamic religions clashing over a stretch of land in levant but this has got me wondering what the third abrahamic religion Judaism did during this period.For example what sides did they support?How were they treated by the crusaders and by the Muslims? What was life like for the Jews during this time period
There's always lots more to say about this (people have spent their entire careers writing about it), but I have a few previous answers that should be helpful:
What were the consequences of the Crusades for European Medieval Jews?
Did Jews take part in the crusade?
How did Jews in Palestine and nearby regions view the Crusades?
