Abstract

900 jaar geleden werd Jeruzalem ingenomen door het leger van de Eerste Kruistocht. Sociaal en militair blijft deze onderneming een ongelooflijke prestatie voor die tijd. Hoe werd zoiets gigantisch mogelijk gemaakt? Wat waren de beweegredenen die een tot dan toe nooit geziene massa op de been brachten voor een risicovolle tocht van 3000 km? Godfried van Bouillon en Pieter de Kluizenaar spreken tot de verbeelding. Toch waren zij niet de meest toonaangevende figuren. Wie waren dat dan wel en wat was de echte rol van beide heren? Hoe is de Eerste Kruistocht in feite verlopen? Wie waren de deelnemers en waarom waren er geen koningen van de partij? Hoe valt te verklaren dat van de acht kruistochten die tussen 1096 en 1270 plaatshadden, alleen de eerste geslaagd is in zijn opzet: de inname van Jeruzalem? De Eerste Kruistocht heeft zowel in West-Europa als in het Nabije Oosten de feitelijkheden en de mentaliteit grondig beïnvloed. Het is dus aangewezen om 900 jaar later de balans van het gebeuren op te maken. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

"In 1099, the soldiers of the First Crusade, summoned by the Pope and gathered from throughout Christendom, took Jerusalem. As the news of this victory spread throughout Medieval Europe, it felt nothing less than miraculous and dream-like, to such an extent that many believed history itself had been fundamentally altered by the event and that the Rapture was at hand. As a result of military conquest, Christians could see themselves as agents of rather than mere actors in their own salvation. The capture of Jerusalem changed everything. In Nebuchadnezzar's Dream, Jay Rubenstein maps out the steps by which the social, political, economic, and intellectual shifts occurred throughout the 12th century, drawing on those who guided and explained them. The Crusades raised the possibility of imagining the Apocalypse as more than prophecy but actual event. Rubenstein examines how those who confronted the conflict between prophecy and reality transformed the meaning and memory of the Crusades as well as their place in history"--

Abstract

In Alliances and Treaties between Frankish and Muslim Rulers Michael Köhler presents a fully integrated study of Frankish-Muslim diplomacy in the period from the First Crusade through to the thirteenth century. It is a ground-breaking study that challenges preconceived notions of the relations between Frankish and Muslim rulers in the Middle East. Commonly portrayed as an era of conflict, the period appears here as one in which conventions of diplomatic cooperation were commonplace. This book is one of the few works in the fields of Crusader Studies and Middle Eastern Studies that draws to the same extent on Arabic and Western sources; two textual traditions that have usually been studied in isolation from each other.

Abstract

The success of the First Crusade, and its capture of Jerusalem in 1099, has been conventionally explained in terms of its ideological and political motivation. This book looks at the First Crusade primarily as a military campaign and asks why it was so successful. Modern writing about the crusade has tended to emphasise the moral dimension and the development of the idea of the crusade, but its fate was ultimately decided on the field of battle. Victory in the East looks at the nature of war at the end of the eleventh century and the military experience of all the contending parties in order to explain its extraordinary success. It is the first such examination, taking into account all other factors but emphasising the military.
