Professor Mayer's previous volume of collected studies looked at
different aspects of the Crusading movement in the Holy Land and at
its religious institutions, the main emphasis being on the
documentary material, the proper understanding of which is
essential for historical analysis. This concern is equally apparent
in the present volume, but the focus now rests on the problems of
government in the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem. He first deals with
the monarchy as an institution and with the particular rulers,
examining the theoretical basis of rulership and the actual
realities of their position vis-A -vis the feudal nobility. The
second section looks more closely at the subjects of the crown and
their status. These studies also reveal the influence of the
geographical situation of the Crusader states at the crossroads
between the Latin, the Byzantine and the Islamic worlds.
