Nicholas Morton - The Military Orders Volume VII: Piety, Pugnacity and Property

The Military Orders essay collections arising from the quadrennial conferences held at Clerkenwell in London have come to represent an international point of reference for scholars. This present volume brings together twenty-nine papers given at the seventh iteration of this event. The studies offered here cover regions as disparate as Prussia, Iberia, and the Eastern Mediterranean, and chronologically span topics from the twelfth to the twentieth centuries. They draw attention to little used textual and non-textual sources, advance challenging new methodologies, and help to place these military-religious institutions in a broader context.

Nicholas Morton is a lecturer in history at Nottingham Trent University, UK. His research interests include the Crusades, the military orders, Christian-Islamic relations during the medieval period, and the Seljuk Turks. He has published extensively on these themes, and his recent monographs include The Field of Blood: The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Middle East and Encountering Islam on the First Crusade. He is an editor for two Routledge book series: Rulers of the Latin East and The Military Religious Orders: History, Sources and Memory.
