| Abstract | Memory has been an important element of crusader studies in recent years. The papers in this panel consider the ways in which independent crusading ventures were remembered in Latin texts and vernacular literature. Turner investigates how the intertwining of memory with motifs of crusading may reflect contemporary lay concerns in the way that it ensures, challenges, and restores marital relationships in French romances of the 13th century. Doherty examines how independent crusading ventures were recalled in relation to the 'numbered' crusades. Stephen Powell, informed by his pivotal role in the Independent Crusaders Mapping Project, will then offer a response to these two papers. |
