| Abstract | Following this year's theme of 'Empire', we would like to draw scholarly attention to the political interactions between the Papacy, the Holy Roman Empire, and Byzantium concerning the crusading effort in the Eastern Mediterranean between the 12th and the 15th century. Both Emperors had territorial claims in the Levant and the Papacy often found itself as a mediator between the two parties. Also the Crusader States and the Aegean and Levantine Kingdoms were often subjected to the political games of the highest players. |
