For nearly two centuries, generations of knights from England and Western Europe marched to do battle with the Saracen hordes who occupied the Holy Land. <br /><br />Bitter and bloody, these great battles are known to history as the Crusades. <br /><br />Perhaps most famous of all was Richard the Lionheart¹s struggle with the Emperor Saladin on the burning sands of Palestine in 1190. <br /><br />The Crusades Knights of Christ features atmospheric reconstruction footage and spectacular computer effects to tell the dramatic story of the great conflict between Christianity and Islam. <br /><br />The programme also features dramatised eye-witness accounts and expert comment and analysis.[
