Welcome to Litsy!

The People‘s crusade was an absolute mess…but did it have an underlying purpose?

New word alert- Homooussios is used to describe Jesus and God as one. Constantine the Great inserted this word into Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea to counter Aries of Alexandria who told followers Jesus is not God. #ashorthistoryofbyzantium #johnjuliusnorwich #councilofnicaea #constantinethegreat #byzantineempire #homoousios #arianism #christianity #churchhistory #worldhistory #europeanhistory #history

How meta 🇫🇷. On a different note, this book is much more interesting (less dry) than expected!

Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!

Thanks to @PathfinderNicole and @majkia among others for suggestion.

Decent read. It's good as a broad introduction to the history of the Normans. The book covers several different historical events, such as William the Conqueror, the Norman conquest of Sicily, and the 1st Crusade. However, I feel that the author tries to cover too much material in too short of a book. As a result, several events aren't covered in as much detail as they could've been.
