The Prehistory of the Crusades: Missionary War and the Baltic Crusades

Burnam W. Reynolds

4.9/5 (23630 ratings)

Description:There is a vigorous debate on the exact beginnings of the Crusades, as well as a growing conviction that some practices of crusading may have been in existence, at least in part, long before they were identified as such. The Prehistory of the Crusades focuses on the Baltic, or Northern, Crusades and interrogates one line of development in the formation of the idea of the crusade: the use of aggressive warfare as a tool for christianizing pagan lands and peoples. The Baltic Crusades were distinctive because they were not directed at the Holy Land, and they were not against Muslim opponents, but rather against pagan peoples. From the emperor Charlemagne's wars against the Saxons in the eighth and ninth centuries to the Baltic Crusades of the twelfth century, this book explores the sanctification of war in creating the ideal of crusade, and in so doing explains how crusading ultimately developed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
