The Christian Reconquest of the Holy Land
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The importance of Jerusalem and the Holy Land to Western medieval Christians, the cradle and homeland of their religion, being well known, this work proposes to examine sources from the time of the Crusades (papal documents, sermons and preaching, chronicles and histories), searching them for the idea of Christian reconquest of the Holy Land and, if possible, use of the word “reconquest” as a literal reflection of a desire to reconquer the Christian territories of the East from the Muslims.
