Abstract | Although Germany produced numerous crusaders and pilgrims, the place of the empire within the crusade movement has been relatively little studied in scholarship until recently. In keeping with the thematic focus of IMC 2023, this session will feature networks and traditions of crusading between 1096 and 1197. Papers will examine neglected areas of research: the activity of German bishops as crusaders, the participation of Germans in expeditions which set out between the more prominent numbered crusades, and the familial and social networks that can be discerned in the crusades of Frederick I and Henry VI. |
