Midwest Book Review:
A potent mix of salvation and adventure, the Crusades were one of the most prominent
features of medieval Europe, reflecting and directing religious and secular movements in
Western society for half a millennium. Christopher Tyerman offers the first book-length
study of the role of England in the Crusades. Focusing on the courtroom and council
chamber, rather than the battlefield, he demonstrates the impact of the Crusades on the
political and economic functions of English society. Drawing on a wide range of archival,
chronicle, and literary evidence, Tyerman brings to life the royal personalities, foreign
policy, political intrigue, taxation and fundraising, and the crusading ethos that gripped
England for hundreds of years. England And The Crusades, 1095-1588 is a masterpiece of
scholarship and an informative, exceptionally well written and welcome addition to the
medieval studies library. |
