The Inventories, Accounts, and Records of Debts for the Templars’ Estates in England and Wales, 1308-1313, as a Source for the Everyday Lives of the Templars
Although the inventories, accounts, and records of debts payable and receivable produced for King Edward II of England’s government after the arrests of the Templars in England at the beginning of 1308 are incomplete, they preserve some information on the Templars’ built environment and material culture, the persons living in or associated with Templar properties, religious observance, estate management, and transactions with outsiders.

Dominus Jhesus novum genus militie constituit et elegit
The normative texts of the Military Religious Orders generally sought to limit or even prevent all interaction between the professed Brothers and women, and the primitive rule of the Order of the Temple indicated that women should no longer be admitted to the Order. The reason for this restriction was to prevent the Brothers being distracted from their spiritual vocation through the physical presence of women. In practice, however, the evidence o…

Military Communities in Late Medieval England
This fine collection of eleven scholarly papers, edited by Gary P. Baker, Craig L. Lambert and David Simpkin, builds on and develops the research of Andrew Ayton, ‘one of the most distinctive voices in the field of late medieval military history' (p. xiii). Arranged in chronological order of subject, the papers range widely across the military history of England, from the late thirteenth to the fifteenth century, and consider issues of technical …
How to Plan a Crusade
This erudite and readable study is not only an impressive work of scholarship but also an accessible introduction to the history of the crusades. Although the practicalities of organising a crusade are fascinating to students and the general public, scholars of the crusades tend to focus on only limited aspects of the process, such as the justification and preaching of the crusades. Yet crusade planning required much more than this: not only esta…

The Hospitallers’ and Templars’ involvement in warfare on the frontiers of the British Isles in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries
The military religious orders’ vocation was to defend Christianity against non-Christians, not to fight other Christians. Alan Forey has shown that they played little role in papally-initiated holy wars against Christians in the thirteenth century. However, there were various occasions during the thirteenth century and later in which the military religious orders became involved in warfare between Catholic Christians. In particular, the Templars …

Youth as People
Youth development organizations have a common commitment to young people’s physical, emotional, and educational growth and development. A youth-centered atmosphere where young people feel supported and empowered by the community distinguishes successful programs from others that approach programming without considering young people the most important stake-holders. Programs serve youth best when the environments in which they function are intenti…

The theoretical base of intervention is d…
