Synopsis

Shipped from UK, please allow 10 to 21 business days for arrival. A very good, clean and sound paperback. 5.3"x8.3"x0.6"; 0.8 lb; 240 pages. Despite various studies on the development of crusading thought, the First Crusade itself has not been properly examined from this perspective. Drawing on a range of European chronicles and charter collections, this book discusses the launching of the First Crusade, the practical experience of the crusaders and the interpretations placed upon this experience by contemporary commentators.. . .
