In the Middle Ages, Europe and the Middle East were divided between Christian states, or Christendom, and Muslim states. They were uneasy neighbours, and frequently at war. On the frontline: the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire, the major Christian power in the eastern Mediterranean. But in the 11th century, a powerful new force emerged that
