Bücher von Helen J. Nicholson

Helen Nicholson surveys women's involvement in medieval crusading from the 11th century to the 16th, arguing that medieval women were deeply involved in the crusades, but that the roles that they could play and how their contemporaries recorded their deeds were dictated by social convention and cultural expectations.

An annotated timeline provides readers with an easy-to-follow overview of the several centuries of Crusading, and maps provide rapid and easy to read geographical and political information on the most important campaigns.
