The first full account of the medieval struggle for Jerusalem, from
the seventh to the thirteenth century The history of Jerusalem is
one of conflict, faith, and empire. Few cities have been attacked
as often and as savagely. This was no less true in the Middle Ages.
From the Persian sack in 614 through the bloody First Crusade and
beyond, Jerusalem changed hands countless times. But despite these
horrific acts of violence, its story during this period is also one
of interfaith tolerance and accord. In this gripping history, John
D. Hosler explores the great clashes and delicate settlements of
medieval Jerusalem. He examines the city's many sieges and
considers the experiences of its inhabitants of all faiths. The
city's conquerors consistently acknowledged and reinforced the
rights of those religious minorities over which they ruled. Deeply
researched, this account reveals the way in which Jerusalem's past
has been constructed on partial histories-and urges us to reckon
with the city's broader historical contours.
