Description

Explore a fresh perspective on one of the most significant figures of the First Crusade with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book provides a new appraisal of Godfrey of Bouillon (c.1060-1100), a key leader in the expedition between 1096 and 1099 and the first ruler of Latin Jerusalem. While many historical studies focus only on his actions during the crusade, this text takes a holistic approach. It examines his life by connecting his involvement in the Holy Land to his earlier activities in Lotharingia and the broader context of his family ancestry. By looking at his career from the beginning, readers gain a deeper understanding of how his background shaped his role in establishing the polity in Jerusalem. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the medieval period, the Crusades, or the history of the Latin East. It offers a detailed look at the transition from a Duke of Lower Lotharingia to a ruler in the Levant, providing historical context that moves beyond simple biography to offer a complete view of his life and legacy.
