William Of Tyre: Eyewitness To The Crusades
William of Tyre, a historian and archbishop, meticulously chronicled the events of the Crusades. As an eyewitness to the siege of Tyre in 1124 and later becoming its archbishop, William provided valuable insights into the motivations, achievements, and failures of the Crusaders. His written history, the “Historia rerum in partibus transmarinis gestarum,” remains a primary source for understanding the complex dynamics of the Crusades.
