Horsedung, crusader castles and marauding students

This month’s BBC History magazine interviews Hertford’s Professor of the History of the Crusades, Christopher Tyerman, about his new book, How to Plan a Crusade. You can read a review of the book in The Guardian: 25 kilos of horsedung, prefab crusader castles, and an Oxford lecture interrupted by marauding students chanting ‘Deus lo volt’.
