Download or read book Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain written by Joseph F. O'Callaghan and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from both Christian and Islamic sources, Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain demonstrates that the clash of arms between Christians and Muslims in the Iberian peninsula that began in the early eighth century was transformed into a crusade by the papacy during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Successive popes accorded to Christian warriors willing to participate in the peninsular wars against Islam the same crusading benefits offered to those going to the Holy Land. Joseph F. O'Callaghan clearly demonstrates that any study of the history of the crusades must take a broader view of the Mediterranean to include medieval Spain. Following a chronological overview of crusading in the Iberian peninsula from the late eleventh to the middle of the thirteenth century, O'Callaghan proceeds to the study of warfare, military finance, and the liturgy of reconquest and crusading. He concludes his book with a consideration of the later stages of reconquest and crusade up to and including the fall of Granada in 1492, while noting that the spiritual benefits of crusading bulls were still offered to the Spanish until the Second Vatican Council of 1963. Although the conflict described in this book occurred more than eight hundred years ago, recent events remind the world that the intensity of belief, rhetoric, and action that gave birth to crusade, holy war, and jihad remains a powerful force in the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: La Orden de Calatrava, cumplidos los 850 años de su existencia en 2008, fue la primera orden religiosomilitar creada en España y una de las primeras en Europa, para defender la cristiandad frente al empuje bélico del islam. Fue fundada en la ciudad-fortaleza de Calatrava en el siglo XII (en 1158), después de que los templarios no se vieran con coraje suficiente para defenderla frente a los ataques musulmanes. El abad Raimundo de Fitero (Navarra) y Diego Velázquez, monje de su monasterio que había sido guerrero en su juventud, se ofrecen voluntarios a Sancho III para hacerse cargo de la fortaleza. La Orden de Calatrava comenzó su andadura en un pequeño territorio hostil y semidespoblado y, en el discurrir de los siglos, sin dejar de guerrear, obtuvo importantes propiedades tanto en extensión como en valor económico. Se expandió por varias zonas de la Península Ibérica, incluso Portugal; su poder e influencia fueron enormes, en especial en el conocido todavía como Campo de Calatrava, y fue tan necesitada como temida por los reyes. Fernando el Católico, a finales del siglo XV, decide controlarla y, tras conseguir ser nombrado maestre, la anexiona a la Corona. Desde entonces, los reyes españoles, como grandes maestres, han administrado, vendido o hipotecado los bienes de la orden, desde las minas de Almadén hasta un sinfín de prebendas y de territorios que, en el siglo XIX, fueron definitivamente desamortizados. Hablar de la Orden de Calatrava es recrear el arte cisterciense, revivir la batalla de Las Navas de Tolosa, elegir entre el Pedro I el Cruel o el Justiciero, comprometerse con el partido de la Beltraneja o con el de Isabel, mostrarse tan excesivo como el condeduque de Olivares, o saber que, en la actualidad, es don Juan Carlos I quien ostenta la categoría de gran maestre de las Órdenes de Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara y Montesa.

Download or read book Military Orders and Crusades written by Alan Forey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first eight studies in this volume seek to address a series of questions concerning the emergence and the role of the military orders in the 12th and 13th centuries: the reasons for the appearance of the institution, the recruitment and instruction of novices, and, though the military orders were predominantly male organisations, the role of women within them. Dr Forey then turns to the orders’ role in the Crusades, both against the infidel and in ’Holy Wars’ against Christians, and their activities in ransoming captives. The last studies focus on the development of the Order of St John, and on two minor military orders; one of these, that on St Thomas of Acre, draws attention to the relations between England and the Holy Land, the subject also of the final paper, on the crusading plans of Henry III.
Download or read book Medieval Warfare 1000 1300 written by John France and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of medieval warfare has developed enormously in recent years. The figure of the armoured mounted knight, who was believed to have materialized in Carolingian times, long dominated all discussion of the subject. It is now understood that the knight emerged over a long period of time and that he was never alone on the field of conflict. Infantry, at all times, played a substantial role in conflict, and the notion that they were in some way invented only in the fourteenth century is no longer sustainable. Moreover, modern writers have examined campaigns which for long seemed pointless because they did not lead to spectacular events like battles. As a result, we now understand the pattern of medieval war which often did not depend on battle but on exerting pressure on the opponent by economic warfare. This pattern was intensified by the existence of castles, and careful study has revealed much about their development and the evolving means of attacking them. Crusading warfare pitted westerners against a novel style of war and affords an opportunity to assess the military effectiveness of European methods. New areas of study are now developing. The logistics of medieval armies was always badly neglected, while until very recently there was a silence on the victims of war. Assembled in this volume are 31 papers which represent milestones in the development of the new ideas about medieval warfare, set in context by an introductory essay.
