paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The 'Book of Deeds' is the first known autobiography by a Christian king. Its author was James I of Aragon (1213-76), known as 'The Conqueror', one of the great political figures of 13th-century Europe and a successful crusader. In his 'Deeds', James describes the turbulent years of his minority, the thrilling capture of Majorca, the methodical conquest of the kingdom of Valencia, the reconquest of the kingdom of Murcia after Castile had failed to hold it, and many of the important events of his reign. While crusade and conquest of Spanish territory from the Muslims and Christian-Muslim relations on the frontier are central features of the account, the 'Deeds' are also a treasure trove of information on the image, power and purpose of monarchy, loyalty and bad faith in the feudal order, the growth of national sentiment, and medieval military tactics. At the same time, the book presents a unique insight into the mind of a medieval ruler, the supreme example we possess of the fears and ambitions of a man at the very centre of events.

Hardback. Condition: New. King Alfonso VIII of Castile: Government, Family and War brings together a diverse group of scholars whose work concerns the reign of Alfonso VIII (1158-1215). This was a critical period in the history of the Iberian peninsula, when the conflict between the Christian north and the Moroccan empire of the Almohads was at its most intense, while the political divisions between the five Christian kingdoms reached their high-water mark. From his troubled ascension as a child to his victory at Las Navas de Tolosa near the end of his fifty-seven-year reign, Alfonso VIII and his kingdom were at the epicenter of many of the most dramatic events of the era.

Hardback. Condition: New. Volume seven in the Outremer: Studies in the Crusades and the Latin East series, edited by Jessalynn L. Bird and Damian J. Smith. This collection of essays by an international group of contributors addresses the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 in relation to the crusading movement, considering the political decisions taken around the council and the long-term consequences of its canons for crusade piety, finance, and organisation under Innocent III and his successors. The volume is arranged in four parts, moving from the council itself and the affairs of the Latin East to the crusades in the Baltic and the Iberian Peninsula, and closing with studies on the decree Ad liberandam, crusader rights, and mission. Individual chapters treat, among other subjects, the Livonian crusade in Cistercian writing, Bishop Albert of Riga and the conversion of Livonia, the Virgin at the Lateran and the Baltic crusades, Archbishop Rodrigo, Honorius III and the Fifth Crusade in Spain, Mediterranean trade and the millares coinage after Lateran IV, the protection of crusader rights during the crusades of Frederick II, and echoes of the council's crusade and mission agenda in thirteenth-century manuscripts. Illustrated with five black-and-white images; text in English and French, with an index.…
