Book Recommendation

by Thomas Asbridge

By now the crusaders had christened the most powerful French catapult 'Mal Voisine', or 'Bad Neighbour', while nicknaming the Muslim stone-thrower that targeted it for conter-bombardment 'Mal Cousine', or 'Bad Relation'.

— Thomas Asbridge

The story of the crusades is a strange saga, with colorful characters, cruelty, strange side-stories and all kinds of misadventures. If you are looking to write something kind of like Game of Thrones, with power-plays, politicking, and nobles being real brutal bastards, its worth reading.
There's also another book I remember reading in my youth called The Crusades: An Arab Perspective, or something like that. I can't remember the author, but if you can find it, it forms the other piece of the puzzle.

Video Recommendation

And speaking of knights! Modern History TV has a whole series on knights, from their equipment to their daily lives to what they ate. A really interesting deep-dive into knighthood.
