 There was to be no epilogue to recover the fortunes of the Second Crusade
in Palestine. The vision of all the forces of Christendom on the march against
the pagan Slays and the Moslem world had been dissipated by the mixture of
military and non-military elements in the armies, divided leadership, conflicting
interests within Christendom, lack of knowledge and understanding of the
countries invaded, and the growing strength of the Moslems in the east. The
smaller, more concentrated, essentially military expeditions in Portugal

the shift from the vast miscellaneous outpourings of the First and Second
Crusades to the more limited personnel and more definite objectives of the
Third and Fourth Crusades.
