Reading crusader fiction against the backdrop of Mediterranean
history, this book explains how Iberian authors reimagined the idea
of crusade through the lens of Iberian geopolitics and social
history. The crusades transformed Mediterranean history and
inaugurated complex engagements between Western Europe, the
Balkans, North Africa, and the Middle East in ways that endure to
this day. Narratives of crusades powerfully shaped European
thinking about the East and continue to influence the
representation of interactions between Christian and Muslim states
in the region. The crusade, a French idea that gave rise to
Iberian, North African, and Levantine campaigns, was very much a
Mediterranean phenomenon. French and English authors wrote
itineraries in the Holy Land, chronicles of the crusades, and
fanciful accounts of Christian knights who championed the Latin
Church in the East. This study aims to explore the ways in which
Iberian authors imagined their role in the culture of crusade, both
as participants and interpreters of narrative traditions of the
crusading world from north of the Pyrenees.
