Notes sur les Croisades, Vol. 1: Le Royaume de Jérusalem (Classic Reprint) (French Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book re-examines the establishment of the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem, drawing on newly available historical sources. The author argues that the status of Muslim polities surrounding the Kingdom heavily influenced its political development. He finds that the internal tensions in the various Muslim states gave the crusaders an advantage in strategy and diplomacy. These factors allowed the crusaders to establish a foothold in the region, and ultimately, to form their own kingdom. The author refrains from using familiar sources that contain modern interpretations in favour of original Arabic sources and underused medieval texts in European languages. The book is accessible to readers without prior knowledge of the crusades and is a valuable resource for scholars and interested readers alike, as it sheds new light on the power dynamics and political complexities of the medieval Middle East.
