Merchant Crusaders in the Aegean, 1291-1352 MIKE CARR The period from the fall of Acre until the end of the Crusade of Smyrna signified a dramatic shift in crusade impetus, as expeditions to liberate the Holy Land were superseded by those aimed at reducing the maritime power of the Turks in the Aegean. With this shift in impetus came a change in participation, as the members of the merchant republics of Venice and Genoa, together with the Frankish states in the Aegean, began slowly to replace the chivalry of Western Europe as the most suitable leaders of a crusade. Drawing on a wealth of previously unexplored sources, this book analyses the changing Latin perceptions of the Greeks and Turks during the period, the nature of the military response to the threat posed by the Turks in the Aegean and the relationship between the papacy and the merchant crusaders. £60/$99 December 2015 978 1 84383 990 3 4 b/w illus.; 214pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB Library e-book 978 1 78204 599 1 Warfare in History
