    Say what you want about the crusades, but at least the king and his knights all rode off to war personally.

      My favorite story from the Crusades.

      The Europeans landed and a huge mob of locals came running at them. Naturally the knights killed all the ‘infidels.’

      Later, they learned that the ‘infidels’ were local Christians who were coming to greet them and offer support.
