This considerably expanded edition of The Crusades, 1095-1204 couples vivid narrative with a clear and accessible analysis of the key ideas that prompted the conquest and settlement of the Holy Land between the First and the Fourth Crusade. This edition now covers the Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople, and gives greater coverage of the Muslim response to the crusades, the events of the First and Second Crusade, and the prominent role of female rulers in the Latin East. Underpinned by the latest research, this book also features a ‘Who’s Who’, a Chronology, maps, and a strong collection of contemporary documents, including previously untranslated narratives and poems.
