S., Think Again - Copyright © 2007 Ed Bagley A lot of moviegoers think that "Titanic" is the largest grossing domestic film of all time, primarily because of its huge popularity as well as topping $600+ million in revenue following its release in 1997.

  • The First Crusade part two - It should be remembered that at this time, 1095, when Urban was preaching the Crusade, or more accurately, the Pilgrimage; the name 'Crusade' didn't appear until many years later, the knights were merely men who rode horses into battle. They could be employed as farmers of a nobleman's lands, freemen, who were expected to drop everything and fight for their liegelord if the need arose. In exchange for this, they were supplied with war horses, a sword, lance, shield, hauberk, and helm. Other 'knights' were chosen by their friends and relatives for their aptitude in horsemanship and use of arms, and families would club together to equip a man with horse, armour, etc. The expense could be crippling.
