Known worldwide among scholars of medieval Europe for her books on the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights Templar, the trial of the Templars in Britain and Ireland, and women and the crusades, Professor Helen J.

Reflecting almost thirty years of published research, this collection includes articles focusing on women’s depiction in contemporary writing on the crusades and their involvement with the military religious orders, the Templars’ and Hospitallers’ relations with the rulers of Latin Christendom and with their noble patrons and their operations in Britain and Ireland. Women, the Crusades, the Templars and Hospitallers in Medieval European Society and Culture will interest scholars, students, and other researchers studying the military religious orders, the crusades and women’s lives in medieval Europe and the crusader states.

Book Description
A centuries-old secret lays buried and forgotten. An exquisite pendant contains an obscure record of the hidden location. A country road, long abandoned and overgrown, leads to a priceless treasure. And the connection between these elusive clues is grasped by a resolute highwayman who hides behind mask, sword, and pistol. But this feared "Gentleman of the Road" is actually a woman, Zamora Delevan. Considered her family's poor, unremarkable cousin, she conceals a lethal skill. Her father Richard, one of the King's most proficient military fencing masters, privately trained Zamora at his London studio until her expertise rivaled his own. After Richard's premature death in 1721, Zamora finds herself thrust into the world of rural aristocrats who exploit England for personal gain. In an effort to ensure justice, and to prevent the foreclosure of her family's estate, Zamora -- in the guise of a highwayman -- embarks upon a dangerous journey where honor, love, and revenge are fulfilled at the point of a sword.
The Processes of Politics and the Rule of Law

Pages : 347
Book Description
This third volume of essays by Peter Linehan deals with matters of perennial interest to all historians of medieval Church and State, and in particular to students of the history of medieval Spain and Portugal and of the papacy in the 12th and 13th centuries. Amongst those discussed and explored are the question of feudalism in the 11th and 12th century, the rise and fall of a royal capital, the city of León, the ritual of king-making, focusing on Castile and Portugal, the interplay of royal influence and papal authority, and the impact of the mendicant orders. A previously unpublished study provides a cautionary tale of a particular bishop in politics. Four essays are devoted to the investigation of individuals and issues central to the history of late 13th-century papal Rome, while two look at medieval and modern historiography.

A stricken spirit is unbearable. Unrequited love insufferable. And yet, the search for forever has begun. In the dusk of the eighteenth century, an unthinkable mêlée rises from the South of France.
