Abstract | This four-paper session explores the ways in which royal crusade leaders were depicted in medieval texts, primarly in England, and how the crusades were portrayed for royal patrons in texts produced in the late 15th and 16th centuries. Starting with a consideration of royal power and crusading, it moves on to look at masculinity and kingship and the depiction of idealised royal models, demonstrating the enduring power of the crusading ideal in the formation of royal power. |
