This volume brings together twenty studies relating to the history
of the Latin principalities established in Palestine and Syria from
their foundation in the course of the First Crusade up to their
defeat by Saladin at the battle of Hattin in 1187. Half of the
essays deal with the first three decades of the Frankish
settlement, focusing on the monarchy of the kingdom of Jerusalem
under Godfrey of Bouillon, Baldwin I and Baldwin II, and on the
origins and prosopography of the Frankish nobility. Beyond this are
longer-ranging studies devoted to sacred and secular aspects of the
landscape and population of Palestine, including the settlement of
the city of Jerusalem, the military use of the relic of the True
Cross, and wider strategic considerations concerning the defence of
the Holy Land. The final section considers how the Franks perceived
and interacted with the Muslim and native Christian inhabitants of
Syria, Palestine and neighbouring lands, with a particular emphasis
on the evidence of the great chronicle of William of Tyre.
