Reply to comment by StringSing in Did the first crusade impact significantly the war-making capacity of states like england, west and east francia? And did later crusades impose equal burdens, or was the distribution of this burden different for the 2nd and 3rd crusades? by Qazwereira

Also worth noting after the First Crusade it became more popularized to send second, and third (etc) sons as the first was usually landed and tending the estate

Or the 12th son. I can't remember the name right now. Imagine being the 12th son.

You wake up on your eleventh birthday, and your dad gives you an unbalanced sword. "Do god's work, son. That'll be how you make the family proud," he says, already turning to head back to his chambers.

Your nanny leads you to a horse twice your height and you're told to meet your uncle two towns over. Some of your family had already had their last thought of you before today, but for others this would be the last time you saw any of them.

There's a famous crusaer; I was hoping someone to add the name by now. I gave it a quick search and I couldn't find who I was talking about. Thanks for adding this in now; I'll check this person out anyhow
