In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked Fifth Crusade, focusing particularly on its campaign in Egypt. This period of history is integral to understanding the evolution of the Crusades and the geopolitical landscape of the Near East during the thirteenth century. By shedding light on this fascinating crusade, historian Thomas Smith provides us with insight into the motivations, challenges, and outcomes that defined it.
