Abstract

Beset by enemies on every side and torn by internal divisions, the crusader kingdoms were a hotbed of intrigue, where your greatest ally might be your natural enemy. Because lives and kingdoms often rested on the edge of a sword blade, it was a time when a bold heart and a steady hand would see you far-so long as you watched your back.

Abstract

Often linked to the works of early Romanticism, Sophie Cottin's Malvina (1803) was a bestselling sentimental novel. First published in France, the English translation by Elizabeth Gunning - a prolific novelist in her own right - allowed Cottin's book to achieve success internationally. This is the first modern scholarly edition of Malvina.

Abstract

A lively reimagining of how the distant medieval world of war functioned, drawing on the objects used and made by crusaders Throughout the Middle Ages crusading was justified by religious ideology, but the resulting military campaigns were fueled by concrete objectives: land, resources, power, reputation. Crusaders amassed possessions of all sorts, from castles to reliquaries. Campaigns required material funds and equipment, while conquests produced bureaucracies, taxation, economic exploitation, and commercial regulation. Wealth sustained the Crusades while material objects, from weaponry and military technology to carpentry and shipping, conditioned them. This lavishly illustrated volume considers the material trappings of crusading wars and the objects that memorialized them, in architecture, sculpture, jewelry, painting, and manuscripts. Christopher Tyerman's incorporation of the physical and visual remains of crusading enriches our understanding of how the crusaders themselves articulated their mission, how they viewed their place in the world, and how they related to the cultures they derived from and preyed upon.

Abstract

"Die Geschichte der Valois-Herzöge von Burgund kann aus der Retrospektive zu einer Gegenüberstellung von modernen und mittelalterlichen Elementen dieser Herrschaftsbildung verleiten. Insbesondere die Kreuzzugspläne Philipps des Guten (1419-1467) erscheinen vor dieser Folie wie das letzte Aufblühen einer mittelalterlichen Kultur, die nicht recht zum klassischen Narrativ eines 'burgundischen Staates' passen will. Statt in Philipp aber einen Don Quijote des 15. Jahrhunderts oder den Vorläufer des 'letzten Ritters' Maximilian zu sehen, untersucht die Studie seine Kreuzzugsprojekte als Bestandteil einer burgundischen Statuspolitik: Die ostentative Bereitschaft zur Verteidigung des Glaubens erlaubte der jungen Dynastie, eine Höherrangigkeit im Kreis der europäischen Fürsten zu beanspruchen. Zur Analyse des burgundischen Kreuzzugsdiskurses stützt sich die Arbeit auf drei Traktate des Jean Germain (gest. 1461), die er als Kanzler des Ordens vom Goldenen Vlies verfasste. Methodologisch betritt sie dabei Neuland, indem eine sequenzanalytische Methode der rekonstruktiven Sozialforschung mit einer diskursanalytischen Perspektive verbunden und zur Untersuchung spätmittelalterlicher Handschriften herangezogen wird." --

Abstract

This study is the first to consider the impact of the crusades and crusading on medieval Wales. By looking at references to crusading in poetry, chronicles and other literature , examining efforts at recruitment and assessing the levels of participation and interaction, it considers the level of interest in the crusading movement shown in Wales and the Welsh March among the native Welsh and settlers. Support for the military orders and their role in Welsh life, as well the political role of crusading help to highlight the domestic impact a movement focussed in the Latin East had in medieval Wa
