Hello everyone and welcome to the History of Scotland, Episode 30.
Now today we are going to end our three part series discussing Scotland’s participation in the Crusades as a whole. Learning about what role the Nation of our beloved Scotland played during these calls for war in the Holy Land as well as their relationship with the Knights Templar.
Although there were Scottish crusaders involved in every war, their influence and numbers were not notable, largely because of their concern that the English kings would syphon off Scottish taxes for the crusades for their own purposes, and because they were often at war with the English later on.
One main paper we are going to use and reference throughout this episode is THE INFLUENCE Of’ THE CRUSADES & THE CONTEMPORARY RELIGIOUS LIFE IN SCOTLAND from the University of Glasgow. For any further reading you wish to make after this episode.
So let's dive one last time into the Crusades and learn about Scotland's influence and participation in these holy wars.
