Crusading spirit in Europe. Results of classic medieval crusades ca 1095-1285. States established by crusaders in Near East. Internal European crusades. Chronological prolongation of crusading phenomenon.
Class Description:
Taken as a whole, the Crusades make up one of the most fascinating episodes in the history of the Middle Ages. Our primary aim in this class will be to study the crusading phenomenon in its medieval context by engaging with the original documentary remains of the period and with modern film portrayals. What motivated medieval European men and women to set out on the conquest of a land thousands of miles away, about which they knew very little? How did the papacy, as head of the Catholic Church, come to promote violence against the Muslim residents of that land as not merely justifiable, but as positively meritorious, as deserving of a great spiritual reward? How did the Muslim and also Jewish communities who were the primary targets of this violence respond to it, and how did the contact among Christians, Muslims, and Jews which the Crusades made possible transform relations among these groups, the three major monotheistic religions of the West? While focusing on the Crusades as an aspect of medieval history, we will also consider some of the larger questions raised by the history of these expeditions. What is the relationship between violence and religion? Does it differ in the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish traditions? What is the legacy of the crusades? Did they set the stage for modern conflicts in the Middle East? How do western and non-western films interpret th
