I'm Dave Musgrove, editor of the magazine. Let me quickly tell you what we've got in store. First up, I'm talking to Professor Jonathan Phillips, who's written a fascinating feature in the August issue of the magazine, all about the Second Crusade. After that, have you ever wondered what it was like to sail on a Viking warship? Right now, there's a recreated Viking boat in the middle of the North Sea. It's on a voyage from Denmark to Dublin. We've got a special report direct from the ship.

And finally, I've had a quick chat with Nicholas Crane, the man who famously tracked across

Britain with his trademark umbrella for the BBC's Map Man and Coast series. His latest project

is to follow in the footsteps of travellers who have explored Britain at various times over the

last thousand years. I ask him what he's learnt and find out some surprising revelations about beaver's testicles. Now of course you can read more about all of these subjects in the August issue of the magazine. It's brimming with other features as well. We've got the partition of India in 1947, a short history of blasphemy, a curious tale of stuffed animals at the 1851 Great Exhibition, and an examination of what it really means to be a Celt. We've also launched the competition to find the most enigmatic or bizarre historic gravestone in the UK. There's a great prize on offer to the winner, so 10 of the magazine for more on that. We'll take a look at our website www.bchistorymagine.com. You can buy the magazine in all good newsagents in the UK.

And now, let's find out a little more about Crusades.

Jonathan Phillips is Professor of Crusading History at the Royal Holloway University of London and his latest book, The Second Crusade, extending the frontiers

of Christendom, is going to be published by Yale University Press in September 2007. Professor Phillips.

Okay, so the First Crusade. It was an astonishing success for the Christian soldiers, but the second

was a disastrous failure. So what went wrong? There's a number of reasons why the Second Crusade failed. It was pretty poorly funded. The kings of Europe didn't do a particularly good job in getting their money together. Europe was hit by a famine, actually, the year they were trying to get the thing going. So it wasn't really in a sort of very good position to fund a crusade. A crusade is incredibly expensive. You know, it's supposed to take a night, three years worth of his annual income.

And a famine is not a good time to try and get that kind of cash together.
