The studies here reflect Jonathan Riley-Smith's work as a
historian, which began with research on the history of the military
orders, the specific focus of the third section here. Out of this
grew the concerns covered in the previous sections: an interest in
the political and constitutional history of the kingdom of
Jerusalem and the relations of the western settlers with the
indigenous population of Palestine and Syria; the theory of
crusading, involving research on theology and canon law, and the
rAle of the popes as preachers, and at the same time detailed
consideration of the responses of lay men and women to the ideas
that were being presented to them. The two final papers explore
some of the implications of crusading ideology and mythology in the
modern world.
