Byzantium and the Crusades by Jonathan Harris
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 324 MB
Overview: Jonathan Harris’s classic text chronologically surveys Byzantine history in the time of the Crusades. The book reveals the attitudes of the Byzantine ruling elites towards the Crusades and their ultimate inability to adapt to the challenges this presented. Using evidence amassed in a wealth of primary sources, Harris successfully makes the point that Byzantine interactions with Western Europe, the Crusades and the crusader states is best understood in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and the ideology which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised hostility between the peoples. This book remains the keystone to understanding the East-West relationship during the Crusades and what this meant for the Byzantine Empire.
