Abstract

This session examines the liturgical procession conducted by the Crusaders around the city walls of Jerusalem a week prior to their successful capture of the city on 15 July 1099, in two papers that draw upon Arabic and Latin sources to reconstruct the content and meaning of this event from an Islamic and a Christian perspective. A third paper will examine northern European perspectives on combating Muslims in Iberia as part of the crusading enterprise during the time of the Fifth Crusade by examining papal, Iberian, and Northern European narrative and epistolary sources.
