Description
Byzantium and the Crusades by Jonathan Harris provides a chronological survey of Byzantine history during the time of the Crusades. This in-depth analysis reveals the complex attitudes of the Byzantine ruling elites towards the Crusades and their inability to adapt to the challenges presented. Through a wealth of primary sources, Harris sheds light on the nature of the Byzantine Empire and its ideology, which underpinned its interactions with Western Europe, the Crusades, and the crusader states. The 3rd edition features 25 additional images, maps, and genealogical tables, as well as two significant new appendices. These additions provide critical Latin primary sources translated by the author, offering multiple first-hand perspectives on the subject, and assessments of various representations of the Byzantine interaction with the Crusades in key fiction and non-fiction works. This book remains a crucial resource for understanding the East-West relationship during the Crusades and its impact on the Byzantine Empire.
