| Abstract | The session discusses the construction of narratives relating to the Crusader past and explores how the Crusades were remembered or forgotten after the 14th century. The first paper focuses on works of art illustrating how Constantinople replaced Jerusalem in collective memory after the Ottoman conquest of the Byzantine capital; the second paper is an analysis of various objects commemorating Peter I Lusignan's crusade against the Mamluks, which became part of the Cypriot king's legend in subsequent centuries; the third paper examines variations of Renaissance Gothic architecture in Venetian-ruled Cyprus and their use as retrospective quotations of the island's Crusader heritage. |
