ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been completed and defended without the support, guidance, and pressure of my dissertation committee chair and academic advisor, Dr. Barbara Rosenwein, and the rest of my committee, Dr. Theresa Gross-Diaz and Dr. Jessalynn Bird. During the years in which I researched, wrote and defended my dissertation these professors, as well as Dr. Leslie Dossey, provided me with personal guidance in formulating, clarifying, organizing and presenting my arguments. I was also guided and assisted by advice and suggestions from scholars I reached out to on my own as well as whom I met through my participation in the Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East. These included Dr. Bruce Brasington, Dr. Paul E. Chevedden, Dr. Paul F. Crawford and Ardella Crawford, Dr. Conor Kostick, Dr. Alan V. Murray and Dr. William Purkis, among others. Outside of graduate school courses and dissertation research, friends inside and outside of the department, including Noshaba Bhatti, Phillip Brigham, Kirsten Devries, Andrew Donnelly, Daniel Fitzpatrick, Amanda Loos-Logan, Stephen Loos-Logan, Ian McFadden, Daniel O’Gorman, and Shayna Plaut provided intellectual, social, and emotional support, especially when it was most needed at the end of the long process. My mother, Hinda Ordman, father, Edward Ordman, and stepmother, Eunice Ordman, were also unfailing sources of emotional and material support with whom my completion of this doctoral program and dissertation would not iii have been possible. And I should also thank Dean Peters, without whose encouragement almost to the end I could not have begun and finished my program and written my dissertation. iv What can I say about intentions, which are so hidden most of the time that they can hardly be discerned? – Abbot Guibert de Nogent, Gesta dei per Francos TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS viii ABSTRACT x CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1 Outline 15 CHAPTER TWO: HISTORIOGRAPHIES 20 The Interdisciplinary Study of Emotion 20 Research On Emotions in the Social Sciences 21 Research On Emotions in Historical Study 26 Crusade Studies and Medieval Military Historiography 40 Crusade Studies 42 General Medieval Military Historiography 63 The Historiography of Juridical and Penitential Though 70 Conclusion 84 CHAPTER THREE: AFFECTIVE DEFENSE 87 Warfare in the Christian Roman Empire 88 Patristic Authors on Emotions and Violence 91 Emotions in Early-Medieval Judgments of Sin and Violence 112 A New Christian Empire 126 The Need to Control Violence by Knights 138 Episcopal Efforts to Reduce Violence 143 Juridical Efforts to Control and Direct Violence 154 Papal Direction of Violence 159 Conclusion 168 CHAPTER FOUR: JUST KNIGHTS, JUST WARS 172 Narrative Accounts of Pacifism, Violence, and Motive 172 A Good Warrior: Gerald of Aurillac 176 Not all Warriors are Saints 189 William of Normandy’s Holy War 204 Conclusion 218 CHAPTER FIVE: CREATING THE CRUSADER 227 The Purpose of Christians’ Participation in Military Action 229 Ideals for Christian Knights 229 Ideals for Christian Warfare 236 vi The First Crusade as a Papal Innovation 253 Papal Recruitment at Clermont 256 Conclusion 275 CHAPTER SIX: FEELING LIKE A CRUSADER 278 Doubts about Recruits 280 Accounts of the First Crusaders 288 Anger 288 Sorrow 300 Fear 312 Courage 324 Joy 334 Conclusion 344 CHAPTER SEVEN: CONCLUSION 356 Historical Evidence for Knights’ Affect 361 Possible Applications of Modern Neurobiological Research? 366 BIBLIOGRAPHY 369 VITA 411 vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AHR American Historical Review Die Bussbucher Die Bussbucher und das kanonische Bussverfahren, Vol. 1.

However, it will be seen that in the Western Mediterranean and Southern and Central Western Europe, from Late Antiquity through the early-Twelfth Century, these areas were carefully controlled and directed by complex philosophical and religious systems. Polytheist Roman, and later patristic Christian, authors who wrote within classical and late antique philosophical and religious systems created the accepted norms for the undertaking of organized violence – that which was fought under recognized leadership and undertaken for an acceptable moral or ethical goal. These authors also constructed norms for acceptable experiences and expressions of emotions such as anger, fear, courage, joy, sorrow and religious devotion. This project demonstrates that attitudes toward both violence and emotion changed slowly over time as the Christian faith rose to dominance in the Roman Empire; the western Roman Empire dissolved into Christian successor kingdoms; Christian institutions in the west grew in number and complexity as well as territorial and cultural influence; and territorial conflicts inside Europe and conflicts on and beyond its borders classified by contemporaneous and later historians as holy wars and crusades brought Christians face to face with new forces they perceived as enemies who threatened the faith. x This dissertation examines a large number of clerically authored and influenced juridical, prescriptive, narrative, and epistolary texts composed from Late Antiquity through the Early Twelfth Century, for evidence of attitudes toward and definitions of emotions, and attitudes toward organized violence. Changes over time in attitudes concerning organized violence and methods for judging those who shed blood will be seen in juridical texts by popes and other ecclesiastical or monastic leaders. Christians came to be seen as able to consciously direct their emotions for the benefit of their religious devotion, in order to avoid or gain forgiveness for sin and to help them move closer to God. Changes in emotion will be seen in clerically authored and influenced textual accounts of organized violence, and in the emotions attributed to Christian participants, from the tenth through twelfth centuries. These authors will be seen to have described emotions to provide evidence of actors motives for violence, that which seperated those who sinned by shedding blood out of greed from those who used violence out of love to correct enemies for their own good and to protect fellow Christians. As will be briefly discussed in the conclusion to this project, modern scientific research on emotions suggests that these systems also influenced historical actors internal neurobiological experiences. But as I argue from a culturalist historical perspective throughout this project, changes in their experiences were equally the products of texts by western clerical

  • Salutare Animas Nostras: the Ideologies Behind the Foundation of the Templars
    SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS: THE IDEOLOGIES BEHIND THE FOUNDATION OF THE TEMPLARS A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, HUMANITIES, PHILOSOPHY, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI MAY 2012 Salutare Animas Nostras 1 Running Head: SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS Salutare Animas Nostras: The Ideologies Behind the Foundation of the Templars Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Salutare Animas Nostras 2 Abstract From beginning to end, the Knights Templar were a mysterious order. Little is known of their origins, and most of their records were destroyed during the suppression in the fourteenth century. In addition, they combined seemingly incompatible objectives: warriors and monks, as well as laity and clergy. This study bridges those divides, providing the historical developments from a secular and religious context. To understand the Templars’ foundation, it needs to be based on a premise that combines the ideologies of the priestly and knightly classes–salvation and the means to attain it. The conclusions were drawn following a multi-disciplinary approach. The primary source materials included the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, patristic authors, medieval literature, canon law, the Templars’ rules, in addition to monastic cartularies and chronicles. The secondary sources were a similar collection from various disciplines. The approach allowed for the examination of the Templars from multiple angles, which helped to highlight their diversified origins. The Knights Templar were the product of a long evolution beginning with the Pauline imagery of the Christian as a soldier battling his/her own spiritual demons and continuing through the call for a crusade to defend the Patrimony of Christ.

  • The Sermon of Urban II in Clermont and the Tradition of Papal Oratory Georg Strack Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich
    medieval sermon studies, Vol. 56, 2012, 30–45 The Sermon of Urban II in Clermont and the Tradition of Papal Oratory Georg Strack Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich Scholars have dealt extensively with the sermon held by Urban II at the Council of Clermont to launch the First Crusade. There is indeed much room for speculation, since the original text has been lost and we have to rely on the reports of it in chronicles. But the scholarly discussion is mostly based on the same sort of sources: the chronicles and their references to letters and charters. Not much attention has been paid so far to the genre of papal synodal sermons in the Middle Ages. In this article, I focus on the tradition of papal oratory, using this background to look at the call for crusade from a new perspective. Firstly, I analyse the versions of the Clermont sermon in the crusading chronicles and compare them with the only address held by Urban II known from a non-narrative source. Secondly, I discuss the sermons of Gregory VII as they are recorded in synodal protocols and in historiography. The results support the view that only the version reported by Fulcher of Chartres corresponds to a sort of oratory common to papal speeches in the eleventh century. The speech that Pope Urban II delivered at Clermont in 1095 to launch the First Crusade is probably one of the most discussed sermons from the Middle Ages. It was a popular motif in medieval chronicles and is still an important source for the history of the crusades.1 Since we only have the reports of chroniclers and not the manuscript of the pope himself, each analysis of this address faces a fundamental problem: even the three writers who attended the Council of Clermont recorded three different versions, quite distinctive both in content and style.

  • Indulgences: Practice V. Theology Caitlin Vest This Paper Was Written for Dr
    Indulgences: Practice v. Theology Caitlin Vest This paper was written for Dr. Shirley!s Medieval Church and Papacy course. It was presented at the 2009 Regional Phi Alpha Theta Conference at St. Leo University. It is presented here in abstract. In 1095, Pope Urban II granted the first full – or plenary – indulgence to those who died fighting, or intending to fight, the Muslims in the First Crusade. Soon, indulgences were used to raise an army and revenue for the Catholic Church. The increased use of indulgences led to a dramatic increase in the power of the Medieval papacy. It was not until a century after the first use of indulgences, however, that the theology of indulgences began to be developed. The fact that the practice of granting indulgences preceded the development of indulgence theology suggests that indulgences were necessary for reasons unrelated to theology. A plenary indulgence was the complete remission of penance for sin. This remission required no service or exchange from the penitent. All forms of commutations and indulgences required the penitent to have confessed and received absolution. These different types of indulgences evolved over time based on the needs of the church. They allowed the Church to compete with secular powers and also clearly defined the church hierarchy, headed by the pope.
