| Summary: | This new volume of the Engaging the Crusades series explores the ways in which significant crusading figures have been employed as heroes and villains, and by whom. Each chapter analyzes a case study relating to a key historical figure including the First Crusader Tancred, 'villains' Reynald of Châtillon and Conrad of Montferrat, the oft-overlooked Queen Melisende of Jerusalem and the entangled memories of Richard 'the Lionheart' and Saladin. The Making of Crusading Heroes and Villains is the perfect tool for scholars and students of the crusades, as well as those historians concerned with the development of reputations and memory. |
