Question
Section 3: The Crusades (1095–1291)
Evaluate the role of Godfrey de Bouillon in the First Crusade (1096–1099) and Richard I of England in the Third Crusade (1189–1192).
Markscheme
The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the role of Godfrey de Bouillon (1096–1099) and Richard I (1189–1192) in the crusading movement, weighing up their strengths and limitations. Candidates may offer equal coverage of Godfrey de Bouillon and Richard I, or they may emphasize their evaluation of one of them; however, both individuals will be a feature of the response. A comparative approach may or may not be used. Candidates may refer to their military tactics and strategy, influence on the crusading movement, impact on the military and political situation in the region and their effect in the West. While other relevant factors, for example the importance of other military leaders, may be referred to, the bulk of the response will remain on the issue raised in the question.
