Medieval History is important for Christians to study to protect them from making the same mistakes (i.e., The Crusades).

It is also important so that Christians realize they'd be Muslims now, if it wasn't for those "mistakes". Disclaimer: I'm an Atheist.

That's true of all history. As in the George Santayana adage: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
