Abstract	Crusading has often been described as 'protean', yet such an adjective can render the concept almost meaningless. This session examines three expeditions, widely separated in time and space, and asks whether there are any recognisable hallmarks which might suggest a generic relationship, or whether the issues raised are quite specific to each of them, thus rendering the search for commonalities anachronistic.
