The course is on the Crusades, all of them, even the little ones no one talks about, from the 11th to the 15th century. So I have to stay within the confines of this genre. Naturally, I've narrowed it to Byzantium, and it has to be roughly 50 pages. So not TOO narrow, but also not too broad. But, knowing the fine scholars here at PD, ya'll can probably convince me otherwise. I need a topic by November and a finished prospectus by December, then I have 6 months to write it. So it's a time crunch, unless a master's thesis which I can take 2 years to do and have kinda already started.

So far, the best one I've come up with is:

"You F*N Normans! Get off my lawn!": A Byzantine Perspective on the Fourth Crusade
