An extremely popular anti-Catholic (and anti-Jewish as well) account of the crusades, citing the cruel and impious behavior of popes and participants alike as a reason for the failure of the conquest of the Holy Land. Fuller, chaplain extraordinary to Charles II, was one of the earliest English historians thus to analyze the crusades as a historical event. ESTC S121250; STC (2nd ed.), 11464; Pforzheimer, 390. 1371082. Special Collections.
