These papers explore major themes in recent scholarship on the medieval crusade and its religious, political and cultural context, re-evaluating the issue of 'were the Templars guilty?' and suggesting their problem was one of organisation; one study looks at the impact and effect of the crusade on Jewish-Christian relations, another at crusaders and their interaction with indigenous Christians in the county of Edessa as a case study of developments in other crusader states; and there are papers on Peter the Hermit, on the political and religious context and impact of the Fourth Crusade, on the influence of the crusade on Piers Plowman, and on the political context for the failure of crusading ideals in fifteenth-century Burgundy. The contributors include: Alfred Andrea, Robert Chazan, Kelly Devries, Christopher Mcevitt, Thomas Madden, Jonathan Riley-Smith, William E. Rogers, and Jay Rubinstein. Susan J. Ridyard is Professor of History, University of the South.
