De la Pouille à l’Artois
Sustaining Crusader Ardor
Papal legates who appealed to potential crusaders by preaching also tried to explain to soldiers and commanders the many defeats the Christian armies endured, even though they were carrying out what they asserted to be God's wishes. This article examines two memorial sermons preached by the legate, Eudes of Châteauroux, after the failure of the crusade of King Louis IX (r. 1226-1270), during which the ruler's brother, Count Robert of Artois, died…
Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe, written by Ephraim Shoham-Steiner
John of Garland on the Jews
The works of John of Garland, an Englishman who taught in Paris and Toulouse in the first half of the thirteenth century, have many virulent passages describing the Jews of his day. Although he never denied the possibility that conversion to Christianity could redeem the Jews, he thought it unlikely they would come over to the Catholic faith or remain steadfast in the religion. His invective was extreme by the standards of the time but was influe…

Magna Carta and the Mise of Amiens
In the 1260s, in the wake of arbitrating disputes between King Henry III of England and his barons, King Louis IX of France expressed the opinion that the limitations the barons had imposed on the English king’s authority were improper and even immoral. However, he was careful to exclude Magna Carta (1215) from this blanket condemnation. Limitations on royal authority deriving from it had been intended to resolve the issues that had led to the ba…

Guy Perry. The Briennes
The Brienne family—a medieval aristocratic dynasty or, perhaps more properly, given its various branches, a set of dynasties—is the subject of Guy Perry’s The Briennes: The Rise and Fall of a Champenois Dynasty in the Age of the Crusades, c. 950–1356. The lineage persisted because of the long-term success that its principal landholders had in siring male heirs. The flourishing of the lineage also owed a great deal to opportune marriages that perm…
The Apple of His Eye
The Apple of His Eye
The thirteenth century brought new urgency to Catholic efforts to convert non-Christians, and no Catholic ruler was more dedicated to this undertaking than King Louis IX of France. His military expeditions against Islam are well documented, but there was also a peaceful side to his encounter with the Muslim world, one that has received little attention until now. This book shines new light on the king's program to induce Muslims to voluntarily co…
Apple of His Eye
Introduction
Westminster, I
Westminster Abbey must be among the best documented buildings and communities of the Middle Ages. Its incomparable archives have supported the research agendas of centuries of antiquarians and historians. The works of the antiquarians, in particular their drawings and plans and their transcriptions and descriptions of certain records now lost, especially repay careful study. Supplementing the abundant textual record is the evidence of the materia…

The King's Two Bodies
Louis IX and the Challenge of the Crusade
Etiam reges , Even Kings
“He could not believe that the army had been brought so far, through so many dangers, only to fail at the last.” With these few words Joseph Strayer grasped the essence of Louis IX's feelings during the critical phase of the king's first crusade and the French defeat in Egypt in the spring of the year 1250. The king's captivity at the hands of his Muslim adversaries followed soon after the French disaster. My aim in this paper is to suggest and e…
Unceasing Strife, Unending Fear
This absorbing book explores the tensions within the Roman Catholic church and between the church and royal authority in France in the crucial period 1290-1321. During this time the crown tried to force churchmen to accept policies many considered inconsistent with ecclesiastical freedom and traditions--such as paying war taxes and expelling the Jews from the kingdom. William Jordan considers these issues through the eyes of one of the most impor…
Anti-corruption campaigns in thirteenth-century Europe
The thirteenth century in France saw the initiation of a series of reforms intended to define, identify and root out corruption in government. The principal architect of the campaign was King Louis IX (1226–70), ably supported by a coterie of special officials. Inspired in part by his desire to purify his kingdom in the long preparation for the crusade of 1270, he also drew on longstanding precedents in French administrative history. The campaign…

On the Medieval Origins of the Modern State
The modern state, however we conceive of it today, is based on a pattern that emerged in Europe in the period from 1100 to 1600. Inspired by a lifetime of teaching and research, On the Medieval Origins of the Modern State is a classic work on what is known about the early history of the European state. This short, clear book book explores the European state in its infancy, especially in institutional developments in the administration of justice …

Women and Credit in Pre-Industrial and Developing Societies
The active role of women in the labor force is not limited to recent decades, or even to the last century. As William Chester Jordan amply demonstrates in Women and Credit in Pre-Industrial and Developing Societies, women in premodern times played an integral part both as a source of labor and as participants in lending and borrowing. In this wide-ranging and provocative study, the author assesses the overall significance of women's work in medie…
Jews, Regalian Rights, And The Constitution In Medieval France
It is fashionable to imagine a great dichotomy between the feudal monarchies in the West and the brittle, particularistic entity of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. To Voltaire's mean-spirited gibe that the latter was neither holy, Roman, nor an Empire might be added that it was also not really German, since millions of Netherlanders, Italians, and Slavs, as well as Provencals and Savoyards, lived within its territorial limits. France …

Problems of the Meat Market of Béziers, 1240-1247. A Question of Anti-Semitism
This paper discusses the history of ecclesiastical statutes forbidding Christians and Jews from engaging in commercial intercourse. It suggests that in the particular case of the meat trade, despite prevailing taboos against Jews in the 13th century, these prohibitions were not effective. This was true even where the ecclesiastical prohibi¬ tions could draw additional propaganda from already existing dissatisfaction with the specific trade and/or…

The French Monarchy and the Jews
From 1179 to 1328 relations between French Christians and Jews were chronically unstable--exploitation, repression, and expulsion were sanctioned by a government dedicated to a purified Christian state. The French Monarchy and the Jews tells in rich and compelling detail the fate of the Jews in Capetian France. William Chester Jordan assesses the relationship between and the development of royal institutions and ide- ology in the period during wh…
