1096. Bohémond et les Normands d'Italie partent pour Jérusalem. Un croisé raconte : la bataille d'Ascalon, le passage du Bosphore, le siège de Nicée puis celui de Constantinople, la bravoure de Tancrède de Hauteville ou les iniquités de l'empereur Alexis, autant de « choses vues » présentes dans L'Histoire anonyme de la 1ère Croisade. Le narrateur, probablement un chevalier italien rallié aux troupes de Bohémond de Tarente, n'a rien d'un observateur neutre: il fait part de son enthousiasme pour la croisade, de sa haine des « païens » (infidèles et idolâtres confondus!) et relate avec ferveur les massacres les plus violents, la décapitation des prisonniers ou les combats contre les Turcs qui, « s'ils étaient chrétiens », seraient « les premiers chevaliers du monde ».Épique et subjectif, un récit passionnant. Les Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum sont une des sources majeures de l'histoire de la première croisade (1095-1099). Le livre propose une édition bilingue de ce texte fondamental, richement annotée et précédée d'une introduction succincte, fournissant tous les éléments nécessaires à la bonne intelligence du récit.

The First Crusade (1095-1101) was the stimulus for a substantial boom in Western historical writing in the first decades of the twelfth century, beginning with the so-called "eyewitness" accounts of the crusade and extending to numerous second-hand treatments in prose and verse. From the time when many of these accounts were first assembled in printed form by Jacques Bongars in the early seventeenth century, and even more so since their collective appearance in the great nineteenth-century compendium of crusade texts, the Recueil des historiens des croisades, narrative histories have come to be regarded as the single most important resource for the academic study of the early crusade movement. But our understanding of these texts is still far from satisfactory. This ground-breaking volume draws together the work of an international team of scholars. It tackles the disjuncture between the study of the crusades and the study of medieval history-writing, setting the agenda for future research into historical narratives about or inspired by crusading. The basic premise that informs all the papers is that narrative accounts of crusades and analogous texts should not be primarily understood as repositories of data that contribute to a reconstruction of events, but as cultural artefacts that can be interrogated from a wide range of theoretical, methodological and thematic perspectives

"This book offers a new appraisal of the ancestry and career of Godfrey of Bouillon (c.1060-1100), a leading participant in the First Crusade (1096-99), and the first ruler of Latin Jerusalem (1099-1100), the polity established by the crusaders after they captured the Holy City. While previous studies of Godfrey's life have tended to focus on his career from the point at which he joined the crusade, this book adopts a more holistic approach, situating his involvement in the expedition in the light of the careers of his ancestors and his own activities in Lotharingia, the westernmost part of the kingdom of Germany"--Provided by publisher
