There were at least eight Crusades.

Their primary objectives were to stop the expansion of Muslim states, to reclaim for Christianity the Holy Land in the Middle East, and to recapture territories that had formerly been Christian. Many participants also believed that undertaking what they saw as holy war was a means of redemption and Crusade: Qadj v. 2 way of achieving expiation of sins. Louis led the last two Crusades. The First Crusade, called in response to a request for help from the Byzantine emperor Alexius Comnenuswas astonishingly successful. The Crusaders conquered Nicaea in Turkey and Antioch and then went on to seize Jerusalemand they established a string of Crusader-ruled states. Richard signed Crusade: Qadj v. 2 peace treaty with Saladin allowing Christians access to Jerusalem. The Fourth Crusade—rather than attacking Egyptthen the centre of Muslim power—sacked the Byzantine Christian city of Constantinople. None of the following Crusades were successful. The Crusades slowed the advance of Islamic Crusade: Qadj v. 2 and may have prevented western Europe from falling under Muslim suzerainty. The Crusader states extended trade with the Crusade: Qadj v. 2 world, bringing new tastes and foods to Europe. Crusade: Qadj v. 2 Crusades had a marked impact on the development of Western historical literature, bringing a plethora of chronicles and eyewitness accounts. However, Constantinople never returned to its former glory after being sacked by the Fourth Crusade, and the schism between Eastern and Roman Catholic Christianity was Crusade: Qadj v. 2 entrenched. The Islamic world saw the Crusaders as cruel invaders, which helped engender distrust and resentment toward the Christian world. Approximately two-thirds of the ancient Christian world had been conquered by Muslims by the end of the 11th century, including the important regions of PalestineSyriaEgyptand Anatolia. The Crusades, attempting to check this advance, initially enjoyed success, founding a Christian state in Palestine and Syria, but the continued growth of Islamic states ultimately reversed those gains. By the 14th century the Ottoman Turks had established themselves in the Balkans and would penetrate deeper into Europe despite repeated efforts to repulse them. The Crusades constitute a controversial chapter in the history of Christianityand their excesses have been the subject of centuries of historiography.

Second Crusade - Wikipedia Nevertheless, the religious fervour it excited helped to initiate the Fifth Crusade It was arguably the first European youth movement. Reports in the chronicles often amount to no more than a line or two, and other sources are fragmentary and at times unreliably embellished. For example, scholars of the period have debated whether the movement was really a Crusade and whether the participants were really young people. Crusades could come into existence only with papal approval, and Pope Innocent III — never summoned it. Moreover, the Crusade: Qadj v. 2 recognized their vow as valid. Were the pueri really young people? Yet, this by no means rules out their youthfulness. In addition, several chroniclers noted that some parents imprisoned their children in their homes to prevent them from joining. Preaching aroused collective enthusiasm, particularly in areas with a long tradition of Crusading, as in the town of Chartres and its surrounding region the Chartrain in north-central France. Beginning at the time of Crusade: Qadj v. 2 First Crusade in the late 11th century and continuing into the 13th century, successive waves of Crusading fervour swept over this region. During the winter of and the spring Crusade: Qadj v. 2 the Albigensian Crusade was preached against the heretical Cathars of southern France, resulting in strong military recruitment from the Chartrain. A Muslim invasion from North Africa in led to the fall of the castle of Salvatierra in A climactic battle was expected by Pentecost in Pope Innocent III anxiously attempted to mobilize the prayers of Christians on behalf of the threatened Spanish church by holding processions in Rome on May 16, It is likely that similar processions were held at Chartres on May In all probability, a shepherd boy, Stephen of Cloyesand some of his fellow workers took part in them. The anonymous chronicler of Laon says that Stephen was instructed by a poor pilgrim—who was actually Jesus—to deliver letters to King Philip II of France. Nothing is revealed about the contents of these letters, if indeed they existed, nor of any meeting with the king. The king, however, ordered the pueri to disperse. Although nothing further is known of Stephen, bands of French pueri may have then headed north and east to the town of Saint-Quentin. At this point the French pueri disappear from the historical record, their whereabouts Crusade: Qadj v. 2, but it is possible that some of them arrived in Crusade: Qadj v. 2 German city of Cologne about July 14— There is reason to suppose that there Crusade: Qadj v. 2 French puerias well as pueri from the region between France and Germany, among them. Little is known about Nicholas except that he originated from the countryside near Cologne and carried a cross shaped like a T the tau crosswhich was his charismatic emblem. Invoking the biblical Exodus from Egypt and the parting of the Red Seathey proclaimed that the Mediterranean Sea would part for them, a motif of divine election that implies some degree of identification with the Israelites. Nicholas then led the pueri across the Alps to the Italian Crusade: Qadj v. 2 of Piacenza and Genoawhere, however, they failed to find a ship to take them to the Holy Land. Their ultimate fate remains uncertain; some of them might have traveled by ship to Marseillewhile others apparently journeyed to Rome to ask papal officials to nullify or defer their Crusade vows. Of the more than 7, pueri who arrived in Genoa, many remained— cheap labour was needed there and in other thriving Italian cities. Thus, what began as a popular Crusade probably ended as a massive labour migration. Few of the Crusaders returned from their journey; most died of hunger or thirst or were drowned at sea, while others were sold as slaves. Less than one year later he summoned the Fifth Crusade.

  • BYZANTINE ROYAL ANCESTRY Emperors, 578-1453
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY BYZANTINE ROYAL ANCESTRY Emperors, 578-1453 1 INTRODUCTION During the first half of the first century Byzantium and specifically Constantinople was the most influentional and riches capital in the world. Great buildings, such as Hagia Sophia were built during these times. Despite the distances, contacts with the Scandinavians took place, in some cases cooperation against common enemies. Vikings traded with them and served in the Emperors’ Court. Sweden’s King Karl XII took refuge there for four years after the defeat in the war against Peter the Great of Russia in Poltava. Our 6th great grandfather, “ Cornelius von Loos” was with him and made drawings of many of the famous buildings in that region. The Byzantine lineages to us are shown starting fr o m different ancestors. There are many royals to whom we have a direct ancestral relationship and others who are distant cousins. These give an interesting picture of the history from those times. Wars took place among others with the Persians, which are also described in the book about our Persian Royal Ancestry. Additional text for many persons is highlighted in the following lists. This story begins with Emperor Tiberius II, (47th great grandfather) born in 520 and ends with the death of Emperor Constantine XI (15th cousin, 17 times removed) in battle in 1453. His death marked the final end of the Roman Empire, which had continued in the East for just under one thousand years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. No relations to us, the initial Emperor of the Byzantine was Justin I , born a peasant and a swineherd by initial occupation, reigned 518 to 527.

The account of Alice’s rule of Antioch will rely on William of Tyre’s chronicle A History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea as it is the only known contemporary source to discuss Alice in any depth. Within this chronicle Alice is portrayed as having a negative impact upon Antioch therefore I will consider the levels of crisis the principality suffered between 1130 and 1136 in contrast to earlier rulers of Antioch. I aim to provide an overview of Alice’s actions and subsequently compare them to previous rulers of Antioch. In order to give Alice’s action context I will also use contemporary comparisons of female rule; these examples will include Alice’s sister Melisende (1131-1161) queen of Jerusalem and other medieval queens and noblewomen.

  • The Crusaders' Sultan: Reinterpreting the Battle
    THE CRUSADERS’ SULTAN: REINTERPRETING THE BATTLE OF TELL BASHIR AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR TWELFTH-CENTURY FRANCO-TURKISH POLITICAL RELATIONS IN NORTHERN SYRIA ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History ____________________________________ By Andrew Bolinger Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Jochen Burgtorf, Chair Professor Maged Mikhail, Department of History Professor Stephen O’Connor, Department of History Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the political backdrop to the battle of Tell Bashir in 1108. This battle marks an interesting change of alliances wherein Frankish and Turkish armies fought on both sides of the battle only a decade after the First Crusade had arrived in Syria. Historians have relied heavily on western sources to explain the odd political divisions and the ramifications for the crusader states. The result is a mess, few things are asserted strongly, and the narrative that does come through is deeply problematic. Ibn al- Athir, a thirteenth century Arab chronicler, gives a thoroughly different account from either the Latin sources or those maintained by modern historians. Following the battle of Harran (1104), Count Baldwin II of Edessa had been left imprisoned in Mosul while a series of intra-Turkish wars ravaged the region. Baldwin II’s release at the hands of Jawuli Saqao—the then Emir of Mosul—came at the price of giving assistance to Jawuli who was making an attempt to overthrow Sultan Muhammad in favor of an oft forgotten Saljuq prince, Baktash ibn Tutush. An alliance between Tancred, the prince of Antioch, and Ridwan ibn Tutush, the Prince of Aleppo, resisted Jawuli, leading to the battle of Tell Bashir.

  • Coins of the CRUSADERS
    Coins of the CRUSADERS The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal threats. Crusades were fought against Muslims, pagan Slavs, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, and political enemies of the popes.[1] Crusaders took vows and were granted an indulgence for past sins. The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and were original- ly launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk Turks into Anatolia. The term is also used to describe contemporaneous and subsequent campaigns conducted through to the 16th century in territories outside the Levant usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade. The Crusades had far-reaching political, economic, and social impacts, some of which have lasted into contemporary times. Because of internal conflicts among Christian kingdoms and political powers, some of the crusade expeditions were diverted from their original aim, such as the Fourth Crusade, which resulted in the sack of Christian Constantinople and the partition of the Byzantine Empire between Venice and the Crusaders. The Sixth Crusade was the first crusade to set sail without the official blessing of the Pope, establishing the precedent that rulers other than the Pope could initiate a crusade.

  • Summary There Is a Longstanding Scholarly Debate Concerning
    Summary There is a longstanding scholarly debate concerning Western Christendom’s commanders’ appetite for fighting big battles. The broad –though not uncontested- consensus has been that generals typically avoided fighting major encounters because the consequences of defeat could be so severe. A major contributor to this debate was R.C Smail whose Crusading Warfare (1956) has proved so influential among military historians. This present article engages with Smail’s arguments, exploring the battles fought by the principality of Antioch during the years 1100-1164. It considers why the principality’s commanders might have been prepared to fight quite so many battles (11 in total) given the supposed aversion for such encounters described by many historians. It stresses in particular the unique nature of Antioch’s frontiers and their acute need to adapt their warcraft to address their Turkish opponents’ considerable tactical strengths. Risking battle: the Antiochene frontier, 1100-1164 Nicholas Morton When the warrior writer Usama ibn Munqidh captioned his Frankish enemies as ‘the most cautious of all men in war’ he can’t possibly have known how much trouble he was going to cause modern historians.1 Usama’s statement has sat at the heart of an ongoing debate in which studies have first defined and then redefined the Eastern Franks’ appetite for major pitched battles against their Turkish and Fatimid opponents, reaching very different conclusions. Some have suggested that Latin Eastern commanders were unwilling to risk such large-scale encounters.2 Prima facie this view makes sense because it chimes with the commonly-held view that commanders in Western Christendom were equally reluctant to fight battles, except in the most desperate of circumstances.3 By contrast, John France has suggested that the rulers of the Crusader States were far more aggressive than has hitherto been supposed and were fully prepared to give battle when the need arose.

  • FORWARD ISMAILI Historiography Was Connected
    FORWARD ISMAILI historiography was connected with the beginning of orientalism when French scholar A.I. Silvestre de Sacy (1758-1838) wrote his famous "Expose sur la religion des Druzes" (1838). But this was only a compilation of Sunni sources which were in general very hostile. That is why the real Ismaili historiography begun indeed under Sultan Muhammad Shah, the Aga Khan III at the very beginning of xxth century. A Persian scholar, Fidai Khurasani was invited by the Imam in Bombay where he was able to achieve around 1902 his "Hidayat-i Mu'minin". But this work was not really realized from a scientific point of view. The author included some miracles of the Imams even in modern times. With scholars like W. Ivanow (1886-1970) or L.Massignon (1883-1962), Ismaili studies growth but curiously, if the knowledge and the understanding of the Ismaili literature and doctrine increased, historiography was forsaken. However, in 1936, the editor of the review "Ismaili", A.J. Chunara wrote the famous "Noorum Moobin" in Gujrati. It was the very first attempt in historiography from an Indian point of view. The book became very popular and it was reprinted; until now, most of the Khoja families possess it. A few years later, in 1940, A.S. Picklay produced the first synthesis in English. In 1964, a Libanese scholar, M. Ghalib, published the first attempt in the Arabian world. Since that period, F. Daftary published in 1990 his masterly "The Ismailis: Their History and Doctrines". Next year, in 1991, the Syrian scholar, Arif Tamir proposed his "Tarikh al- Ismailiya".
