Chapter Two
The First Crusade was then and is now one of the most heavily studied episodes of European medieval history. The scholarly literature is commensurately vast. What follows is anglophone, general, and inevitably highly selective. On context and narrative, C. Tyerman, God’s War: A New History of the Crusades (London 2006). On the Muslim background and response, C. Hillenbrand, The Crusades: Islamic Perspectives (Edinburgh 1999), and P. M. Cobb, The Race for Paradise (Oxford 2014). On the western European contribution, with the stress on piety, J. Riley-Smith, The First Crusade and the Idea of Crusading (London 1986) and The First Crusaders 1095–1131 (Cambridge 1997). J. France’s essay ‘Patronage and the Appeal of the First Crusade’ on recruitment, Colin Morris’s on ‘Peter the Hermit and the Chroniclers’ and Jonathan Shepard’s ‘Cross-Purposes: Alexius Comnenus and the First Crusade’ in J. Phillips, ed., The First Crusade: Origins and Impact (Manchester 1997), provide important interrogations of the evidence. A distinctive take, emphasising the apocalyptic dimension, is J. Rubinstein, Armies of Heaven: The First Crusade and the Quest for the Apocalypse (New York 2011). A gallant attempt at material sociological analysis is C. Kostick, The Social Structure of the First Crusade (Leiden 2008). The best military account is J. France, Victory in the East: A Military History of the First Crusade (Cambridge 1994). Planning is discussed in C. Tyerman, How to Plan a Crusade: Reason and Religious War in the High Middle Ages (London 2015). Some important insights into logistics are contained in the contributions in J. H. Pryor, ed., Logistics of Warfare in the Age of the Crusades (Aldershot 2006), and on contemporary attitudes and historiography in M. Bull and D. Kempf, Writing the Early Crusades: Text, Transmission and Memory (Woodbridge 2014). The Byzantine perspective is explored in P. Frankopan, The First Crusade: The Call from the East (London 2012), and using a wider lens, J. Harris, Byzantium and the Crusades (London 2003). For the 1096 anti-Jewish attacks, R. Chazan, European Jewry and the First Crusade (Berkeley and Los Angeles 1987). For the memorialisation of the First Crusade, N. L. Paul, To Follow in Their Footsteps (Ithaca, NY 2012).
Chapter Three
For overviews, apart from the general histories already cited, M. Barber, The Crusader States (London 2012); A. Jotischky, Crusading and the Crusader States (Harlow 2004). On the Jerusalem nobility, J. Riley-Smith, The Feudal Nobility and the Kingdom of Jerusalem 1174–1277 (London 1973); S. Tibble, Monarchy and Lordships in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem 1099–1291 (Oxford 1989); H. E. Mayer, The Crusades (2nd edn Oxford 1988), and his many articles, e.g. ‘Studies in the History of Queen Melisende’, Dumbarton Oaks Papers, 26 (1972), 95–182. For Antioch, T. Asbridge, The Creation of the Principality of Antioch 1098–1130 (Woodbridge 2000); A. D. Buck, The Principality of Antioch and its Frontiers in the Twelfth Century (Woodbridge 2017); for Edessa, obliquel
y, C. MacEvitt, The Crusades and the Christian World of the East: Rough Tolerance (Philadelphia 2008); for Tripoli, K. J. Lewis, The Counts of Tripoli and Lebanon in the Twelfth Century (London 2017); see also N. Morton, The Field of Blood: The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Middle East (New York 2018). For the settlement debate, J. Prawer, Crusader Institutions (Oxford 1980) and The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem (London 1972), and the major revision by R. Ellenblum, Frankish Rural Settlement in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem (Cambridge 1998). B. Hamilton, The Latin Church in the Crusader States: The Secular Church (London 1980), can be supplemented by Jotischky and MacEvitt above. For Muslim reactions, as well as C. Hillenbrand, The Crusades: Islamic Perspectives (Edinburgh 1999), A. Mallett, Popular Muslim Reactions to the Franks in the Levant 1097–1291 (Farnham 2014). The cultural mix has been a theme of B. Z. Kedar, for example his collected papers The Franks in the Levant (Aldershot 1993). An indicative selection of papers may be found in East and West in the Crusader States, ed. K. Cigaar et al. (Louvain 1996); Occident et Proche Orient, ed. I. Draelants et al. (Louvain 2000); and The Crusades and the Near East: Cultural Histories, ed. C. Kostick (London 2011). For the most obvious symbol of Frankish power, H. Kennedy, Crusader Castles (Cambridge 1994), and R. Ellenblum, Crusader Castles and Modern Histories (Cambridge 2007). For art, J. Folda, The Art of the Crusaders in the Holy Land 1098–1187 (Cambridge 1997). A usefully full bibliography can be found in Barber, Crusader States.

Tibble, Monarchy and Lordships in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem 1099–1291, and the classic R. C. Smail, Crusading Warfare 1097–1193 (Cambridge 1956). For Outremer and the west, J. Phillips, Defenders of the Holy Land: Relations between the Latin East and the West 1119–1187, for a study in commitment; for memorialisation, N. Paul, To Follow in Their Footsteps (Ithaca, NY 2012), and C. Tyerman, The Invention of the Crusade (London 1998).
