This collection, hinging on, but not bound by, the Fifth Crusade, exemplifies that studies of the crusading movement must be placed in greater context to fully understand the events defined by historians as crusading expeditions. In the choice of the Fifth Crusade as their pivot point, the editors (also the organisers of the 2012 conference) have brought attention to an expedition which is much deserving of greater study, and in doing so have produced a valuable collection of inspiring and informative chapters. Scholars will find here ideas to muse on for years to come.
The Fifth Crusade represented a cardinal event in early thirteenth-century history, occurring during what was probably the most intensive period of crusading in both Europe and the Holy Land. Following the controversial outcome of the Fourth Crusade in 1204, and the decrees of the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, Pope Innocent III's reform agenda was set to give momentum to a new crusading effort. Despite the untimely death of Innocent III in 1216, the elaborate organisation and firm crusading framework made it possible for Pope Honorius III to launch and oversee the expedition. The Fifth Crusade marked the last time that a medieval pope would succeed in mounting a full-scale, genuinely international crusade for the recovery of the Holy Land, yet, despite its significance, it has largely been neglected in the historiography. The crusade was much more than just a military campaign, and the present book locates it in the contemporary context for the first time. The Fifth Crusade in Context is of crucial importance not only to better understand the organization and execution of the expedition itself, but also to appreciate its place in the longer history of crusading, as well as the significance of its impact on the medieval world.
