Baldwin of Boulogne was born the youngest of three sons and marked out for a clerical career, yet in turn he became a First Crusader, first Latin count of Edessa and the founder of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem. Nevertheless, remarkably, he has never been the subject of a full-length biography. This study examines in detail the stages of Baldwin's career, returning to the contemporary evidence to discover the qualities that enabled him not only to succeed his brother as ruler in 1100 but to maintain and expand the new kingdom of Jerusalem through the next eighteen years in the face of aggression from Muslim enemies and rivalry from fellow crusaders. --

"Although the popular image of the Crusades may suggest that they were solely the domain of male clerics and soldiers, there is extensive edidence to prove that this was not the case. While a handful of academic articles have hinted at this issue in the past, [tghis book] is the first substantial exploration of this contemporarily neglected topic. This ... collection provides both innovative readings of well-known texts and examinations of new source materials, and discusses a wide range of subjects, from the medieval construction of gender to the military of women in the Crusades. Other essays consider questions of masculinity, the role of female saints and religious figures in the Crusades, and the relationship of Crusaders to their families. ..."--Back cover.

This collection brings together new work by an international cast of distinguished scholars, who explore areas as diverse as the military and ecclesiastical aspects of the First Crusade; its representation in contemporary sculpture; and the way it has been portrayed in modern fiction and film. Further contributions analyse and compare primary sources and historiography, and yet others consider the crusade in its Mediterranean context, which is sometimes overlooked. These definitive studies of established areas of research are augmented by the ground-breaking work of a number of early-career academics who are working in relatively new areas: the ‘emotional language’ used in the narrative sources; the memorialization of the crusades; and the use of literary sources for crusade studies: notably there are complementary papers on the heroes and villains depicted in the Old French poetic accounts of the First Crusade. In these twenty-one essays every historian and interested reader of medieval history will find illumination and food for thought.
