Poster - Contextualising the Fifth Crusade

Contextualising the Fifth Crusade
The Crusading Movement in the First Half of the 13th Century
University of Kent, Canterbury, 13-14 April 2012
The Fifth Crusade was undoubtedly an important episode in history, occurring during what was probably the most intensive period of
crusading in both Europe and the Holy Land. But this event was much more than a military campaign. To contribute to the recent new
directions in crusades studies, this colloquium brings together an international group of scholars from a wide range of historical disciplines
who are researching different aspects of the crusading movement around the time of the Fifth Crusade.
