Crusading and the Crusader States explores how the idea of holy war
emerged from the troubled society of the eleventh century, and why
Jerusalem and the Holy Land were so important to Europeans. It
follows the progress of the major crusading expeditions, offering
insights into initial success and subsequent failure, charts the
development of new attitudes towards Islam and its followers, and
shows the effects of the Crusades on society and culture in the
Near East. Providing analysis and discussion of this vital period
of medieval history, Andrew Jotischky discusses key questions such
as how crusading evolved in theory and practice, how crusading
expeditions were planned and carried out, why they were considered
such an essential part of medieval society, and why their
popularity endured despite military failures. This new edition
takes into account the wealth of rich and varied recent research to
show why crusading should be seen as central to the European
experience in the Middle Ages. It engages with key
historiographical debates of the past decade, including how
Crusades were formed, the political culture and social networks of
crusading, and the effects of crusading on western religious and
aristocratic culture. It now extends into the fifteenth century to
discuss the lasting ramifications of the Crusades, and illustrate
their legacy into the early modern period. It is essential reading
for all students of the Crusades and medieval history.
