Kreuzzug. Symbolische Darstellung der Eroberung Jerusalems (12.-14. Jahrhundert) Die Kreuzzüge seitens des „christlichen Abendlandes“ waren strategisch, religiös und wirtschaftlich motivierte Kriege zwischen 1095/99 und dem 13. Jahrhundert. Im engeren Sinne werden unter den Kreuzzügen nur die in dieser Zeit geführten Orientkreuzzüge verstanden, die sich gegen die muslimischen Staaten im Nahen Osten richteten. Nach dem Ersten Kreuzzug wurde der Begriff „Kreuzzug“ auch auf andere militärische Aktionen ausgeweitet, deren Ziel nicht das Heilige Land war. In diesem erweiterten Sinne werden auch die Feldzüge gegen nicht christianisierte Völker wie Wenden, Finnen und Balten, gegen Ketzer wie die Albigenser und gegen die Ostkirche dazu gezählt. Vereinzelt wurde von den Päpsten sogar ein Kreuzzug gegen politische (christliche) Gegner ausgerufen.

The Crusades were expeditions undertaken, in fulfilment of a solemn vow, to deliver the Holy Places from Mohammedan tyranny. The origin of the word may be traced to the cross made of cloth and worn as a badge on the outer garment of those who took part in these enterprises. Medieval writers use the terms crux (pro cruce transmarina, Charter of 1284, cited by Du Cange s.v. crux), croisement (Joinville), croiserie (Monstrelet), etc.

The idea of the crusade corresponds to a political conception which was realized in Christendom only from the eleventh to the fifteenth century; this supposes a union of all peoples and sovereigns under the direction of the popes.

Undoubtedly, the most valuable are those which were wntten by eye-witnesses of the events recorded, and which have come down to us in epistolary form. "These are in general the most precious documents for the history of the crusades. For in their day they plaved the part of the despatches and military bulletins of our day, and they transmit to us faithfully the impression which the events themselves made upon those who had taken part in them. " Of these a few have been selected for translation.here. 1. But passing over these things, let us return to what we promised. 2. 3. THE SECOND CRUSADE. 1. Knights Templar History. Templars by the Numbers Historical accounts tell that in 1307 when the king of France went after the Order of the Temple, there were approximately 15,000 Templars. Of these, about 3,000 were knights, 1,000 squires, and 3,000 sergeants. The rest were priests, masons, smiths, medical personnel, lawyers, financiers, clerks, cooks, farmers, and assorted other occupations.

During the time the Templars were in the Holy Land, there were also "Associates," noblemen who served for some time in the Templars as punishment for a crime and did not take vows, but had to live like monks nevertheless. They underwent training and joined in fighting if deemed able, not as knights but in a lesser capacity. Most likely, there was a special place in the ranks for them. The numbers in the Templar Order didn’t vary significantly in the last two decades prior to 1307 that they were in existence.

Templars’ lives were austere and simple. Templar Types Pages became squires and squires became knights. The Charges. The Crusades from the Perspective of Byzantium and the Muslim World. The Crusades from the Perspective of Byzantium and the Muslim World is the result of scholarly reassessments of the Crusades on the 900th anniversary of the appearance of crusading armies outside Nicaea. The views expressed here complement the considerable number of other examinations that focused on the internal, Western, aspects of the movement on the 900th anniversary of the Council of Clermont. The volume opens with an introduction to the historiography of the Crusades, followed by wide-ranging discussions covering four topics: holy war in Byzantium and Islam; the approaches and attitudes of the various peoples affected by and involved in the Crusades; the movement's effect on the economies of the eastern Mediterranean; and the influence of the Crusades on the art and architecture of the East.
