Professor Mayer's previous volume of collected studies looked at different aspects of the Crusading movement in the Holy Land and at its religious institutions, the main emphasis being on the documentary material, the proper understanding of which is essential for historical analysis. This concern is equally apparent in the present volume, but the focus now rests on the problems of government in the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem. He first deals with the monarchy as an institution and with the particular rulers, examining the theoretical basis of rulership and the actual realities of their position vis-A -vis the feudal nobility. The second section looks more closely at the subjects of the crown and their status. These studies also reveal the influence of the geographical situation of the Crusader states at the crossroads between the Latin, the Byzantine and the Islamic worlds.
In the present volume, the third selection of his articles to be published, Professor Mayer deals with questions of royal authority and power in the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. He first examines the relationship between the monarchy and the Church, questions of royal succession, and aspects of the royal chancery, but is also concerned to trace the king's efforts to create a new clientele of loyal vassals. The second group of studies reverses the perspective, and looks at the origins and development of the lordships of the kingdom, notably at the important county of Jaffa and at the role of the Ibelin, the most significant family in the land.
Der besondere Wert dieser Gesamtgeschichte der Kreuzzuge liegt in einer Reihe von Gesichtspunkten und Interpretationen, welche bisherige Perspektiven nicht selten verandern. Dies gilt vor allem fur den Kreuzzugsablass. Ebenso sind die neueren Forschungsergebnisse zur inneren Struktur der Kreuzfahrerstaaten berucksichtigt. Da fast der ganze christliche Orbis an den Kreuzzugen Anteil nahm, war die ursprungliche Idee allen moglichen Veranderungen ausgesetzt.Das Buch schildert die Verstrickung der Kreuzzugsbewegung in die europaische Politik - so etwa in die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Papst und Kaiser und zwischen den Konigen von Frankreich und England -, ihre Rolle bei der Gestaltung der Beziehungen zwischen Byzanz und Europa sowie ihren Missbrauch fur eine expansive italienische und katalanische Handelspolitik. In der 10. Auflage setzt sich der Autor mit der seit 2000 zahlreich erschienenen Literatur auseinander und bringt das Buch damit auf den neuesten Stand der Forschung.
