Much "We don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go' to accounts of women's attitudes to the crusades. Hard to know how accurate
-
-
They want to show women supported men going off to crusades even tho their absence made their survival & that of their children less certain
-
Women saying 'I don't want you to die & we also need you here working the land so we don't' would not have been recorded.
-
Men sent other men who did not go on the crusades wool & distaff to indicate they were only fit for women's work.Equivalent to white feather

Oooo. I thought your focus was on the Crusades itself.
