🌍📜🏰✨ Happy #ManuscriptMonday! Today’s illumination comes from the Chronica Majora by Matthew Paris and offers a stunning cartographic view of the Holy Land. Can you recognise any cities along the coastline? 📖 Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 26, fol. ivr




Yes, yesterday was Summer #Graduation 2024 and everything, but... Back in 1099, it was also the monumental Conquest of Jerusalem. Prof. Jonathan Phillips & The History Hub talk about the establishment of the First Crusade's ‘crusader states’ #History youtube.com/watch?v=57ZjEK…
Finished! It gives me great pleasure to introduce my new book... "The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Holy War" A history of the Crusades and the Middle East (1097-1187) told from ten different cultural perspectives. Just sent off to the publishers.
Want to hear about the Templars? Naughty Templars in particular? Join me at @ChalkeFestival on Tuesday to hear about Crusader Criminals! @YaleBooks @Medievalists @latineast @RHULHistory @histassoc
Vous avez (trop) chaud ? Et si je vous disais que durant les croisades, les croisés ont eux aussi souffert de la chaleur, au point parfois... de mourir ? Je ne sais pas si ce thread va vous rafraîchir, mais ça vous cultivera... Un thread ⬇️!
Dear Friends, We are saddened to announce that Michael Lower passed away in late May.

Open access piece from the great Christopher Tyerman, on the last 50 years of Crusades scholarship. Honored that one of my books made his footnotes! tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108…
