Introduction
This short essay introduces Material Religion in the Crusading World, a special issue that brings together a group of scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds working on aspects of Latin Christian material religion between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries. The particular focus of the special issue is on the materiality of devotion across the “crusading world”—a space that is broadly defined as those parts of medieval Europe and the N…
Zealous Imitation
Drawing on textual evidence from across the Latin West and ranging from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, this paper explores the practice of crusader body-marking, whereby those who “took the cross” imposed cuts or brand-marks on themselves prior to their departure for the Holy Land. It is argued that these practices should be understood in part as an anxious response to the ephemeral nature of the crusader’s cloth cross, the defining mat…
Jerusalem, 1000-1400
In the early thirteenth century the Latin clergyman Jacques de Vitry wrote that “Jerusalem has been chosen and sanctified by God, trodden by His feet, honored by angels and frequented by every peop
Writing the Early Crusades
A pioneering approach to contemporary historical writing on the First Crusade, looking at the texts as cultural artefacts rather than simply for the evidence they contain. The First Crusade (1095-1101) was the stimulus for a substantial boom in Western historical writing in the first decades of the twelfth century, beginning with the so-called "eyewitness" accounts of the crusade and extending to numerous second-hand treatments in prose and verse…
Memories of the preaching for the Fifth Crusade in Caesarius of Heisterbach's Dialogus miraculorum
This article examines Caesarius of Heisterbach's Dialogus miraculorum as a repository of memory for the preaching of the Fifth Crusade. It begins with a consideration of what insights Caesarius has to offer historians of the Fifth Crusade on the mise en scène of the preaching of the cross in the thirteenth century, before demonstrating how the Dialogus miraculorum might be used to recover some of the exempla deployed by Fifth Crusade preachers. F…
Crusading and crusade memory in Caesarius of Heisterbach's Dialogus miraculorum
This article is a preliminary investigation into the way the Cistercians of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries conceptualised and contextualised the history of the crusading movement, with a specific focus on the way in which they integrated their involvement in crusading into the Order's sense of institutional memory and corporate identity. The article presents a study of Caesarius of Heisterbach's Dialogus miraculorum, a collection of exempla…

Knighthoods of Christ
Crusader Castles and Modern Histories
Scholars of crusading have long been interested in the nature of the relationship between the western Europeans who settled in the Holy Land in the wake of the First Crusade and the indigenous Muslim and Christian peoples of the region. In this important book, Ronnie Ellenblum advances the debate about the tenor of cross-cultural encounters in the Frankish Levant by discussing how castles and castle-building have been used to support various appr…
Elite and Popular Perceptions of Imitatio Christi in Twelfth-Century Crusade Spirituality
From the time of the proclamation of the First Crusade in 1095 to at least the first decade of the twelfth century, there was an apparently universal understanding amongst the people of Christendom that those who joined the pilgrimage-in-arms that set out to liberate Jerusalem and the Holy Land should be regarded as imitators of Christ. This was remarkable, for the imitation of Christ was understood by contemporaries to be the paramount ideal of …
Stigmata on the First Crusade
In his eyewitness account of the First Crusade, Fulcher of Chartres described the shipwreck and drowning of a boatload of crusaders who were bound for the Holy Land in 1097. After the bodies of the dead were recovered, he explained how ‘they discovered crosses evidently marked on the flesh above the shoulders’. Fulcher supposed this incident to be a miracle, ‘divinely revealed’, and that the marking was a ‘token of faith’ (pignusfidei) bestowed b…
