How were the Crusades, and the crusaders, narrated, described, and
romanticised by the various communities that experienced or
remembered them? This Companion provides a critical overview of the
diverse and multilingual literary output connected with crusading
over the last millennium, from the first writings which sought to
understand and report on what was happening, to contemporary
medievalism, in which crusading is a potent image of holy war and
jihad. The chapters show the enduring legacy of the crusaders'
imagery, from the chansons de geste to Walter Scott, from
Charlemagne to Orlando Bloom. Whilst the crusaders' hold on
Jerusalem was relatively short-lived, the desire for Jerusalem has
had a long afterlife in many cultural contexts and media.
