Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to discuss the results of the Crusades, undertaken, for the recovery of the Holy Land from the Saracens and Turks, by the Western Nations of Europe. Though the conventional dates, (1095-1291), include the most active period of the Crusades, it is best to consider them as the medieval period in the long conflict between East and West. Most historians distinguish eight Crusades, four in the Holy Land, two against Egypt, one against Constantinople, and one against the Moslems in North Africa. However, we must think of these as simply high spots in one broad and steady movement which began much earlier than 1095 and which did not cease for many years after 1291.
