This book examines the role of the papacy and the crusade in the
religious life of the late twelfth through late thirteenth
centuries and beyond. Throughout the book, the contributors ask
several important questions. Was Innocent III more theologian than
lawyer-pope and how did his personal experience of earlier crusade
campaigns inform his own vigorous promotion of the crusades? How
did the outlook and policy of Honorius III differ from that of
Innocent III in crucial areas including the promotion of multiple
crusades (including the Fifth Crusade and the crusade of William of
Montferrat) and how were both pope's mindsets manifested in
writings associated with them? What kind of men did Honorius III
and Innocent III select to promote their plans for reform and
crusade? How did the laity make their own mark on the crusade
through participation in the peace movements which were so crucial
to the stability in Europe essential for enabling crusaders to
fulfill their vows abroad and through joining in the liturgical
processions and prayers deemed essential for divine favor at home
and abroad? Further essays explore the commemoration of crusade
campaigns through the deliberate construction of physical and
literary paths of remembrance. Yet while the enemy was often
constructed in a deliberately polarizing fashion, did confessional
differences really determine the way in which Latin crusaders and
their descendants interacted with the Muslim world or did a more
pragmatic position of 'rough tolerance' shape mundane activities
including trade agreements and treaties?
