In this history documentary we seek to bring to life the army of the First Crusade. Contemporary accounts report incredibly high figures on the order of 600,000 men with claims that the army would have numbered in the millions had everyone made it to the holy land. But just how much can we trust these claims. We reconstruct the army using using more recent academic analysis of casualty rates and unit composition ratios to estimate a more accurate model. This is covered with topics or organization, equipment, and more.
