  • Love of God Or Hatred of Your Enemy? the Emotional Voices of the Crusades O Amor De Deus Ou O Ódio Ao Seu Inimigo? As Vozes Emocionais Das Cruzadas Sophia MENACHE 1
    BLASCO VALLÈS, Almudena, e COSTA, Ricardo da (coord.). Mirabilia 10 A Idade Média e as Cruzadas La Edad Media y las Cruzadas – The Middle Ages and the Crusades Jan-Jun 2010/ISSN 1676-5818 Love of God or Hatred of Your Enemy? The Emotional Voices of the Crusades O amor de Deus ou o ódio ao seu inimigo? As vozes emocionais das Cruzadas Sophia MENACHE 1 Abstract : The present paper attempts to investigate three cornerstones of the history of the early crusades from a wider range of emotions while focusing on [1] the call to the crusade and the conquest of Jerusalem, [2] the fall of Edessa and, subsequently, the Second Crusade and its outcomes, and [3] the Christian defeat at the Horns of Hattin. Less than a century before the crusades, different groups in Christian society had been the target of the same pejorative emotions that were later used to denounce and reproach the Moslems. These terms should therefore be seen and analyzed, not to produce a superficial moral reading of the vilification of the Moslems, but as an essential part of the thesaurus in which Christian society analyzed itself. In fact, the use of the same Augustinian emotional index transforms negative attitudes toward the Moslems into an act of inverted inclusion of the Moslems within the Christian sphere; in other words, using illusionary inclusion in order to exclude. This inverted inclusion means that within its inner discourse, Christian society defeated the Moslems symbolically, independently of the real outcome on the battlefield. The transformation of the crusaders from Westerners into Easterners in Fulcher’s eschatology (note 45) is a conscious practice of erasing the “other” by expropriating its identity.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor Dean Robert Stacey for his consistent help and feedback with any problems I might have had, whether relating to crusading historiography or the basics of thesis construction. His expertise in the field of history has proved invaluable, and I could not have been more honored to work with such a gracious adviser. For helping me with the intricacies of the Latin text, I owe an extreme debt to Professor Alain Gowing. I would also like to extend my thanks to Professor Purnima Dhavan, who oversaw this project over the last two quarters and was able to provide me with guidance as the project progressed from its infancy to completion. My fellow colleagues in the UW History Honors Program have also provided me with feedback about the course of my paper, and for that I also am indebted to them. Finally, I would like to thank my family, who has instilled in me a love of learning, through which this thesis was made possible. 3 Table of Contents Map of the First Crusade 1 Introduction to the Hierosolymita

  • Remembering the First Crusade
    REMEMBERING THE FIRST CRUSADE: LATIN NARRATIVE HISTORIES 1099-c.1300 Barbara Packard Royal Holloway University of London PhD Thesis 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Barbara Packard, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: 04/01/2011 2 ABSTRACT The success of the First Crusade by the Christian armies caught the interest and arrested the imagination of contemporaries, stimulating the production of a large number of historical narratives. Four eyewitness accounts, as well as letters written by the crusaders to the West, were taken up by later authors, re-worked and re-fashioned into new narratives; a process which continued throughout the twelfth century and beyond. This thesis sets out to explore why contemporaries continued to write about the First Crusade in light of medieval attitudes towards the past, how authors constructed their narratives and how the crusade and the crusaders were remembered throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It will analyse the development in the way the First Crusade was recorded and investigate the social, religious, intellectual and political influences dictating change: How, why and under what circumstances was the story re- told? What changed in the re-telling? What ideas and concepts were the authors trying to communicate and what was their meaning for contemporaries? The thesis will also aim to place these texts not only in their historical but also in their literary contexts, analyse the literary traditions from which authors were writing, and consider the impact the crusade had on medieval literature.

  • Crusaders Under Siege: the Battle of Antioch in Documents And
    Crusaders Under Siege: The Battle of Antioch in Documents and Historical Narrative Jacob M. Rambin History Faculty advisor: Chris Craun By the 2nd of June, 1098, Crusading armies of the West during the First Crusade had been laying continuous siege to the Turkish-held city of Antioch for nearly 8 months. On the 2nd, they took the city of Antioch only to find they were themselves under siege in the very city they had fought so hard to take. This siege of the city by the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, was to last from the 7th of June to the 28th and would try the very heart of the Crusading army as they attempted to break the siege. There was no time to replenish their supplies or even to clear the streets of the rotting dead left over from the previous battle. Because of this, the Crusaders suffered from starvation and disease throughout this grueling period. The Crusading army was trapped and unable to flee, leaving them with quite literally only two options, victory or annihilation. In their desperation, rather than collapse into disorder and chaos, their suffering found its way to the safety valve of mysticism and credulity. A monk, Peter Bartholomew, came forward reporting visions of the Holy Lance which he claimed could be found buried under the floor of the cathedral of St. Peter. The chronicles agree that a relic was indeed found and presented as the Lance, but many of the chroniclers and participants considered it a fraud placed there for CLA Journal 1 (2013) pp.

  • Anna Comneno, the Alexiad and the First Crusade 1 by Her Own Occount
    READING MEDIEVAL STUDIES Anna Comneno, the Alexiad and the First Crusade 1 By her own occount Anna Com >"Ie no began to write the Alexiad shortly after the death of her husband, Nicephoros Bryennios, in 1137. He hod begun a life of Alexius, known to us as the Hyle, but had taken it no further than the end of the reign of Nicephoros Botaniates in March 1081. This inspired Anna to continue the unfinished life of her father. 2 Some 30 years after the death of Alexius, she tells us that she was still preparing the work. 3 Those parts of Books X ::md XI which deal with the First Crusade were therefore written at least 40 years ofter the events they describe . We know that Anna W';IS born on 1 December 1083 4 so she was only thirteen when the crusade came to Constantinople in 1096-97.
