Seller ID: 208750

ISBN-13: 9781624664038

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

This book is a powerful witness to the dangers of the misappropriation and misinterpretation of the past and the false parallels so often drawn between the crusades and later historical events...

Malcolm Barber's classic The Trial of the Templars recounts the dramatic demise of this elite military force in the fourteenth century. Having fought against Islam in the crusades in the East for nearly two centuries, in October 1307 the members of this respected Order were arrested on the order of Philip IV, King of France, and charged with serious heresies, including homosexuality and the denial of Christ. Finding resonances between the fourteenth-century trial and contemporary events, Barber's classic account endeavours to tackle the unresolved controversies surrounding the consequences of ...

Holy Feast and Holy Fast : The Religious Significance of Food to Medieval Women

By: BYNUM, CAROLINE WALKER

Publisher: Univ California State Pr at : March 1988

ISBN-13: 9780520063297

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New
