“The Crusades and the Cross” Documentary video series presented on www.youtube.com/ Documentary Globe Channel, Produced by Lucy Van Beek and Steffan Boje. This documentary is told from a modern revisionist bent where the Europeans were little more then ignorant barbarians and the peace loving Muslims were victims to their barbarity.  It makes no mention of how Islam ended up in Christian lands in the first place, minimizes acts of Islamic brutality [October 20, 2016]

Tatikios was one of Alexios I Kamnenos able military leaders.  He had been sent into the field with the Western Crusader Armies until the early winter came and he left to get more supplies from Constantinople. Most believed that he would not return. In 1096 Tatikios had defended Constantinople from what he viewed as reckless Crusaders, who attacked the city after their arrival. In 1097, with Tzitas and 2,000 peltasts, Alexios sent him to Nicaea to assist the Crusaders in their siege of the city. Crusade chronicler Albert of Aix says that Tatikios acted as an envoy between the Turks and the crusaders, but according to the more reliable Anna Comnena, he was working with Boutoumites to negotiate the surrender of the city without the Crusaders' knowledge. This caused a deep rift between the Latins and Greeks.  Wikipedia [November 5, 2016] 

“Crusades and the Cross” Several scholars note only one tower was sacked, however, a professor cited a Muslim source that said several were actually taken.  He speculated how leadership was structured among the defensive forces; insofar as, how many towers an individual in Firuz’s position would be responsible for.

BBC Documentary called “Crusades,” which is told from a very pro-Islamic, nihilistic point of view.  Muslim scholars recount the events and the Christian scholars are of the apologetic view regarding the crusades.  This served to provide balance and a greater variety of sources in the telling of the events.  Series written by Terry Jones and Alan Ereira.  Consultants for the series were Sir Steven Runciman and Professor Suheil Zakkar.  Research was gathered by Sarah Lambert and Rod Williams.  The Executive producer was Laurence Rees.
