[(The Creation of the Principality of Antioch, 1098-1130)] [By (author) Tom Asbridge] published on

by Tom Asbridge

The First Crusade wrought many changes across the medieval world, not least in Levant, where the expedition culminated in the Frankish conquest of much of Syria and Palestine. This book is the first major study of the early history of one of these Latin settlements, the principality of Antioch; it reasserts the significance of Antioch, and challenges the dominant position of the kingdom of Jerusalem in modern crusading historiography." "This work will be of value to historians of the Frankish East and medieval Europe. It makes an important contribution to crusading history and to the study of frontier societies and medieval communities.
