The trial by fire of Peter Bartholomew: a case study in medieval social conflict Conor Kostick If Omnipotent God talked to this man face to face, and Saint Andrew revealed the Holy Lance to him when he was keeping vigil, let him walk through the fire unhurt; but if this is a lie let him and the Lance he will carry in his hand be consumed by fire. 1 The ordeal by fire of Peter Bartholomew during the course of the First Crusade (1096-1099) is one of the more dramatic examples of a medieval trial by ordeal. Much discussed by historians of the crusades, it deserves wider attention as a case study of a particular type of legal case: one where contending political and social factions agree to put their dispute to a test, a test whose outcome they then attempt to influence. Despite the canonical hesitancy over the legitimacy of the practice of the ordeal, 2 at the time of the First Crusade the trial by ordeal was a powerful tradition, invoked especially in circumstances where other evidence was lacking.3 In his An Introduction to English Legal History, however, J.H.

XVII, NO. 3 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1644-857X.17.03.01 ARTICLES, STUDIES AND DISSERTATIONS Bartłomiej Dźwigała CarDinal Stefan wySzyńSki UniverSity in warSaw* Evolution of the account of Duke Godfrey’s deed of hewing the enemy through the middle with a single blow during the siege of Antioch by the First Crusade. A source study Summary. The article contains research on the narratives describing the battle of the Bridge Gate (March 6, 1098), which took place during the siege of Antioch by the Crusaders. It focuses on the scene which is the climax of the above-mentioned tale, when the duke Godfrey of Bouillon hews the Turkish warrior through the middle with a single stroke of the sword in a duel on the bridge in front of the city. The study is divided into three parts. The first one includes views of historians regarding the accounts of hewing the foe through the middle by Godfrey as well as an analysis of the earliest stage of shaping the literary tradition of the studied scene, which in the opinion of the author of the article consists of descriptions created by Crusade participants: Raymond of Aguilers, Peter Tudebode and that included in the chronicle of AlbertPNH of Aachen. The second part focuses on the modifications and transformations of the earliest accounts introduced by chroniclers from Capetian France in the first two decades of the 12th century. The last part is devoted to an analysis of the later versions of the scene and their connection with earlier accounts.

  • The Career of Arnulf of Chocques.1
    Reputation, authority, and masculine identities in the political culture of the First Crusaders: the career of Arnulf of Chocques.1 Tutor, chancellor, chaplain, legate, archdeacon and patriarch of Jerusalem: Arnulf of Chocques was an archetype of ecclesiastical social mobility in action. He rose to prominence through a combination of factors: his own scholarly reputation, by cultivating personal relationships with powerful figures, and engaging in profile-raising activities on the First Crusade. His career dominated the establishment of the Latin Church in the East, but it was dogged by scandal - William of Tyre famously recorded Arnulf’s nickname as ‘Mala Corona’: ‘ill-tonsured’. 2 Contemporary historians struggled to explain Arnulf’s political success in the light of polarised opinions about his activities. As a result, Arnulf was often held up against his closest peers to highlight his strengths and failings both as a priest and as a man. This article examines descriptions of Arnulf’s relationships through key stages in his career, exploring how notions of clerical masculinity influenced a variety of historical explanations for the extraordinary events in which he featured. Situated at the crux of the political formation of the Latin East, his career provides a focal point for contemporary ideas about reputation, authority and masculine identities, and offers a rare insight into the unique political culture that developed during and after the First Crusade. Drawn from the work of authors memorialising what they saw as a divinely inspired event to suit a variety of religious and political agendas, work which was also aimed at a largely clerical and literate audience, this article cannot lay claim to the discovery of the ‘real’ Arnulf of Chocques.3 Instead it employs his portrayal as a case study to reveal the central importance of gender when representing clergy in the historical narratives which charted the political processes of crusade and settlement.

  • THE EYEWITNESSES the Major Latin Eyewitness Accounts of the First
    CHAPTER ONE THE EYEWITNESSES The major Latin eyewitness accounts of the First Crusade consist of the anonymously written Gesta Francorum, a near identical version of the same text by Peter Tudebode, Raymond of Aguilers’s Historia Francorum and Fulcher of Chartres’s Historia Hierosolymitana. Each of the eyewitnesses had a distinct perspective on the events they wrote about and, although sharing a similar social vocabulary, reveal a consider- able difference in emphasis in their writing about the social structure of the expedition. The Gesta Francorum The Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum is the most studied and inÁ uential account of the First Crusade. It was the version of events that had the greatest impact in its day and it formed the basis of most of the subsequent twelfth century histories of the First Crusade. Although a new edition by Marcus Bull is in preparation, the most recent modern edition is that of Rosalind Hill (1962), which was issued with an accompanying English translation. It is Hill’s edition that is used for this discussion.1 The author of the Gesta Francorum is unknown, leading to considerable discussion over the centuries as to his background. There is no doubting that the emphasis of the author was slanted towards the activities of the South-Italian Norman prince Bohemond I of Taranto and a strong consensus has been reached that the author travelled from Italy as far as Antioch in the contingent of Bohemond.2 There is far more colour 1 Editions of the Gesta Francorum: J.

We are therefore dependent on the surviving literary sources, which fortunately include a number of eyewitness accounts, even if the most detailed of them are all written from a Frankish point of view. Among the participants of the First Crusade, the anonymous author of the Gesta Fran- corum and Raymond of Aguilers composed detailed and influential accounts of their travels and experiences as they made their way to Jerusalem. Another participant, Fulcher of Chartres, was among those who broke off from the main army and accompanied Baldwin of Boulogne to Edessa prior to the siege of Antioch. Although not an eyewitness of the crusaders’ activities once they left Anatolia, Fulcher, as well as others who were not present, including Albert of Aachen, who was back in Europe, and Ralph of Caen, who would make his way to Syria about a decade later, provide original details that they seem to have learned directly from participants who survived to recount their adven- tures. Nicaea: 1097 Having crossed Europe, the various regional units that would make up the main wave of the First Crusade assembled at Constantinople. These forces were represented by a number of significant nobles: Bohemond of Taranto led the Italian Normans; the Alsatians were led by Godfrey of Bouillon; Count Ray- mond of St Gilles of Toulouse and Adhémar of Le Puy, a papal legate, headed the Provençal contingent.

  • Stephen of Blois: Sensitive New-Age Crusader Or Victim of History?*
    Stephen of Blois: Sensitive New-Age Crusader or Victim of History?* JOHN H. PRYOR According to conventional historiography, Pope Urban II, after the Council of Clermont, called on 27 November 1095 for an expedition to recover Jerusalem from the Muslims, commonly known today as the First Crusade} Armies gathered and left the West during the spring and summer of 1096. Some reached Constantinople late in 1096 but most arrived in the spring of 1097. They crossed into Asia Minor in May 1097 and reached Antioch in late October, eventually taking the city on 3 June 1098. The final march on Jerusalem was long delayed but the Crusaders at last reached the Holy City on 7 June 1099 and stormed it successfully on 15 July. No matter what one may think about the 'political correctness' of the Crusade today, no one can deny that it was an extraordinary undertaking. Somehow, some 70,000-80,000 people, of both sexes and of all ages and occupations, financed (often inadequately) and undertook the overland journey to Jerusalem. Perhaps 20,000 survived the march of three years and reached their objective. The faith that both sustained them through the hardships and horrors of the Crusade, and also drove them to inflict equal horrors on others is something to wonder at and to try to comprehend. Many have tried to understand the mentality of the Crusaders and the human experience of the First Crusade but they have had little to work with because of the dearth of personal sources that survive from it.2 Largely because ofthis, most Crusading scholar­ ship is written in terms of generalities and principles.

  • The Struggle for the Conquest of Antioch (1097-1098) the Struggle
    The Struggle for the Conquest of Antioch (1097-1098) The Struggle for the Conquest of Antioch (1097-1098): Muslim and Christian Perspectives of a Critical Battle during the First Crusade Mersadi’s Dâ Curtsinger Pope Urban II’s sermon at the Council of Clermont in 1095 calling for Christians of Europe to recapture Jerusalem in the name of God brought forth a widespread response from people of all social ranks.1 These included princeps (princes or leaders), minors (petty knights, castellans, and lords), the populous (the poor and laborers), and, lastly, the clergy.2 The following excerpt from Urban’s letter provides instructions on how the Christian community could join this cause: Your brotherhood, we believe, has long since learned from many accounts that a barbaric fury has deplorably afflicted and laid waste the churches of God in the regions of the Orient. More than this, blasphemous to say, it has even grasped in intolerable servitude its churches and the Holy City of Christ, glorified by his passion and resurrection. Grieving with pious concern at this calamity, we visited the regions of Gaul and devoted ourselves largely to urging the princes of the land and their subjects to free the churches of the East. We solemnly enjoined upon them at the council of Auvergne (the accomplishment of) such an undertaking, as a preparation for the remission of all their sins. And we have constituted our most beloved son, Adhemar [sic], Bishop of Puy, leader of this expedition and undertaking in our stead, so that those who, perchance, may wish to undertake this journey should comply [w]ith his commands, as if they were their own, and submit fully to his loosings or bindings, as far as shall seem to belong to such an office.

    3/18/2021 Raymond IV, Count of Toulouse - Wikipedia [ Raymond IV, Count of Toulouse, Raymond of Saint-Giles. (Accessed Mar. 18, 2021.
