750 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Volume I provides this generation's definitive account to crusading history, beginning with the First Crusade in 1095, through Richard the Lionheart, Saladin and the Third Crusade (1187-92), to the fall of the Holy Land in 1291. Across twenty-four chapters, leading experts also provide broad coverage of the source material, delivering fresh perspectives and interpretations. The volume brings together new insights into the establishment of crusader rule and the ongoing interaction of these new Christian territories - in military, religious, cultural and economic terms - with local societies and regimes, most notably the Muslims and the Byzantine Greeks.
