The Fifth Crusade represented a cardinal event in early
thirteenth-century history, occurring during what was probably the
most intensive period of crusading in both Europe and the Holy
Land. Following the controversial outcome of the Fourth Crusade in
1204, and the decrees of the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, Pope
Innocent III's reform agenda was set to give momentum to a new
crusading effort. Despite the untimely death of Innocent III in
1216, the elaborate organisation and firm crusading framework made
it possible for Pope Honorius III to launch and oversee the
expedition. The Fifth Crusade marked the last time that a medieval
pope would succeed in mounting a full-scale, genuinely
international crusade for the recovery of the Holy Land, yet,
despite its significance, it has largely been neglected in the
historiography. The crusade was much more than just a military
campaign, and the present book locates it in the contemporary
context for the first time. The Fifth Crusade in Context is of
crucial importance not only to better understand the organization
and execution of the expedition itself, but also to appreciate its
place in the longer history of crusading, as well as the
significance of its impact on the medieval world.
