    The first wave of Crusaders left Southern England and consisted of a rough coalition of English, Norman, French, Flemish, and Germans. When the rough seas forced their fleet of 200 ships to find a safe harbor in Portugal, King Alfonso convinced the entire army of Crusaders to wait out the summer in Portugal and assist in the siege of Lisbon... the first Great Siege of the Second Crusade.

    For the first and only time, we read a Papal Bull, the document that officiated the Second Crusade. It is a wild document written by the Pope that declares who, where, why, and how the Second Crusade will be carried out. We also follow Bernard of Clairvaux as he travels across Europe and recruits two Great Kings to fight for the holy land and their very souls.
