*laughs in Erikskrönikan, c 1320"
” Med svärdet ville de pröva på,
vad de hedna tavasterna kunde förmå.
Tavasterna då undan sprungo,
De hedne förlorade, de kristna vunno.
En var kunde sitt liv där köpa
Med att kristen bli och låta sig döpa”

The guys going on the Crusades were very much "we're doing this for the money first and maybe to get in good with the Pope second."

"German Order" preceded "Ordoliberalismus" by centuries, but both were dogmatic.

Self funded along the way by pillaging the Jews and others unlucky enough to be within pillaging distance.

Now, let me think. Who sacked Constantinople?

My favourite crusade is the fourth crusade where they decided the Muslims were actually too far away….but some Christians were conveniently en route in Constantinople!
