About The Book

The First Crusade (10959) has often been characterised as a head-to-head confrontation between the forces of Christianity and Islam. For many it is the campaign that created a lasting rupture between these two faiths. Nevertheless is such a characterisation borne out by the sources? Engagingly written and supported by a wealth of evidence Encountering Islam on the First Crusade offers a major reinterpretation of the crusaders'' attitudes towards the Arabic and Turkic peoples they encountered on their journey to Jerusalem. Nicholas Morton considers how they interpreted the new peoples civilizations and landscapes they encountered; sights for which their former lives in Western Christendom had provided little preparation. Morton offers a varied picture of cross cultural relations depicting the Near East as an arena in which multiple protagonists were pitted against each other. Some were fighting for supremacy others for their religion and many simply for survival.
