During the Central Middle Ages Catholics had the opportunity to
take part in Holy War in the Latin East in two different but
related ways, by taking the Cross and by entering the Order of the
Temple. Both crusaders and Knights Templar were dubbed by
contemporary panegyrists milites Christi, knights engaged in combat
for the cause of Christ. On numerous battlefields in the Middle
East crusaders and Templars fought side by side. By the late
thirteenth century both modes of Holy War faced critical
situations. Crusading failed to save the mainland states of
Palestine and Syria from Muslim conquest in 1291, while the Knights
Templar entered a period of internal demoralisation and external
attack that culminated in the suppression of their Order in 1312.
This collection of essays by distinguished historians of the
Crusades and the Order of the Temple covers the whole span of their
historical evolution and offers numerous insights into the
ideologies, practicalities and ramifications of Christian Holy War
in the Middle Ages.
