In the 1090s, a horde of Latin Christians from western Europe undertook an armed pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Along the way, their pilgrimage transformed into a mass migration and produced four Latin states thousands of miles away from their homeland- the kingdoms beyond the sea, the Outre-Mer states.
Why had the westerners gone east in the first place? How did their pilgrimage transform into what we now know as the First Crusade and how did it produce the Outremer states? Those are the questions we'll be answering in this first season of History of the Outremer- the Call from the East.
