1844 CRUSADES History of Medieval CHILVALRY Holy Land Islam Catholic Knighthood



Bound into a single tome, two seminal works by Charles Mills offer comprehensive examinations of pivotal elements in medieval European history: “The History of the Crusades, for the Recovery and Possession of the Holy Land” and “The History of Chivalry; or Knighthood and its Times.” The first work delves into the Crusades, critically examining the interplay of religious zeal, papal authority, and chivalric ethos that drove the western worlds efforts to reclaim Jerusalem from Muslim control. Notably, Mills focuses on the significant roles played by English monarchs such as Richard the Lionheart and Henry V. The second work serves as an exhaustive study on the concept of chivalry, dissecting its cultural significance and multifaceted evolution across Europe. Both works draw upon a wide range of primary and secondary sources, aiming to fill gaps in English-language historical literature that had previously glossed over or incompletely portrayed their respective subjects. Together, they provide an intertwined narrative that enriches our understanding of medieval European history, institutions, and values.
