Abstract

Popular perceptions of the crusades often hold them to be the epitome of male medieval experience – a series of events that solely involved men, whether clerics, kings, knights or ordinary soldiers. Recent scholarship has begun to uncover a wealth of evidence which suggests that in fact women played an important role in various aspects of the crusades. Gendering the Crusades is the ﬁrst book to explore this issue at length.
