Tink's Medieval Times is a podcast delivered by me, William Tink, a teacher of and enthusiast for history, especially the medieval world. The opening series - "Crusades O'Clock" - takes a look at the reasons for the various crusading movements (especially of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries), the events of these expeditions and the ways in which they affected their participants and the people's and areas they targeted. With apologies in advance for the music! I hope you enjoy it. Any feedback welcome at tinksmedievaltimes@gmail.com .
WR Tink hosts Tink's Medieval Times - Crusades O'Clock, a history show with 28 episodes published.

Confession: This episode is more exciting than I was expecting. I was expecting more Fatimid incompetence. I got it. But it came with a twist. This episode has: - Flamethrowers - Angry people refusing to cooperate with e
Ready for another roller coaster? An epic showdown with the Fatimids? The King of Jerusalem escaping a tower, fleeing for 10 days through the desert, and nearly getting incinerated in some dried rushes? If so, this is th
Well, just in case you thought the first part of the 1101 Crusade displayed enough poor leadership, disunity and incompetence, here's some more... Be prepared to see the same battle fought twice, with Kiliq Arslan and Da
A slight detour today, but an important and, I hope, exciting one. For the 1101 Crusade is here! Listen to find out what happens in phase 1. Phases 2 and 3 reserved for February. Don't get your hopes up though. It doesn'
So... We've had the First Crusade... We've had Godfrey de Bouillon... Baldwin of Edessa has battled through temptation and peril to take Jerusalem's crown... And now we have reached his debut year! The Good - he hunts do
With Godfrey de Bouillon dead, Jerusalem is threatened by internal turmoil and external pressures. Does the Holy City need a Latin King? The Patriarch Daimbert doesn't think so... However, Godfrey's old adherents in Jeru
I had no intention of this podcast becoming biographical, but Godfrey makes it too easy. His is a short reign, but one in which he achieves a lot, fitting neatly into 30 minutes and 18 seconds! So thank you Godfrey - I'm

Here we have the making of a legend. No sooner had Antioch fallen to the First Crusade in early June 1098, than the mighty force of Kerbogha of Mosul, consisting of thousands of troops from across the Seljuk Empire, desc
