Explore the historical foundations of the crusades with this essential volume from the Princeton Legacy Library. Carl Erdmann presents a foundational argument regarding the evolution of Christian knighthood and the concept of holy war.

This English edition provides expanded content for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. It includes a foreword by Marshall W. Baldwin that discusses subsequent scholarship, along with additional notes that supplement the original German text. The book also features an amplified bibliography to support further research. By examining literary evidence and the symbolism of banners, Erdmann provides a deep look into the origins of these historical events. This book remains a fundamental resource for anyone studying medieval European history and the development of religious warfare.
