Description
Not all crusaders were men; women and sometimes even children also took up the cross. This detailed and specialised study, based on a thesis, examines the place of women in the crusading movement between 1096 and 1291, identifying their motives, the types of journey they undertook, their military function and weaponry and their daily routine whilst on crusade. Sections also examine the treatment of women in religious call to arms' decrees. The book closes with a gazetteer of notable female show more and child crusaders and their literary references.
