I think all the Sparrows need to spend some time in the House of Black and White...
Seriously, I agree that is reminiscent on medieval days and the crusades. Depending on how much power they can gather and I don't think their goal is ultimate power (i.e. the Iron Throne), it will be interesting is they rally to Danny's cause when she finally lands in Westeros. Sure they have some knights but their power is still fairly limited. Danny would do well to use them to her advantage as she seems to have a knack for sticking up for the little guy. On the other hand, Margeary may have a sudden bout of religious zealousy and with Cersei out of picture (for now) and Jaime in the field and the return of Kevan to King's Landing uncertain, she will no doubt be able to further influence Tommen to give the Faith what it wants.
Jon Snow does not have much use for the Faith as he worships the old Gods of the North.
What part will the Others play???
I would hate it though to see all of this come down to a holy war in the end.
