The so-called 'Templar of Tyre' is the third and longest section of
an important 14th-century chronicle known as the Gestes des
Chiprois. Written by a Cypriot knight who served the Templar Master
William of Beaujeu as an Arabic translator and a member of his
immediate retinue, the 'Templar of Tyre' provides precious
contemporary insights, often drawn from the author's personal
experience, into events beginning in the early 1230s and ending in
1309 in the East and 1314 in the West. Notably, it covers the last
days of the mainland Crusader states and the fall of Acre in 1291
(providing our only eyewitness chronicle of this disaster), as well
as providing information on the period following 1291. The author
also reports various events in the West, including the wars of the
Hohenstaufen in Italy, the rise and fall of Simon de Montfort in
England, the trial and dissolution of the Templars in France, and
the interminable wars of Genoa and Venice across the Mediterranean.
This is the first complete translation of the 'Templar of Tyre'
into English.
