Course, some women accompanied men on crusade. Depicted as heroic helpers, sexual distractions but mostly as suffering horribly.

Women having to keep marching whilst in labour & having just given birth. Dying on the way.

Why the f did women accompany men?! Why would they voluntarily go if this was a risk?

As it was reported, they did not stop or slow down for women. They had to keep up or be left behind and die.

If meant winning Crusade, then that makes sense. Bit harsh on them though, left behind with a kid in foreign land. Any survive?

Many women accompanied and made it back. Some were written about. But most women mentioned are nameless. Just snapshots.

Like the women in the Bible! On one hand ... glad they made it back. On the other, Crusades decimated EU Jewry. Mixed feeling.

Crusades were a big horrible mess of religious fervour with much suffering & deaths. I'd say they were a bad thing.
