Miscellanea Genealogica Et Heraldica
Author: Wales and the Crusades
Author: Kathryn HurlockPublisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 0708324282
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This original study, focussing on the impact of the crusading movement in medieval Wales, considers both the enthusiasm of the Welsh and those living in Wales and its borders for the crusades, as well as the domestic impact of the movement on warfare, literature, politics and patronage. The location of Wales on the periphery of mainstream Europe, and its perceived status as religiously and culturally underdeveloped did not make it the most obvious candidate for crusading involvement, but this study demonstrates that both native and settler took part in the crusades, supported the military orders, and wrote about events in the Holy Land. Efforts were made to recruit the Welsh in 1188, suggesting contemporary appreciation for Welsh fighting skills, even though crusaders from Wales have been overlooked in modern studies. By looking at patterns of participation this study shows how domestic warfare influenced the desire and willingness to join the crusade, and the effect of such absences on the properties of those who did go. The difference between north and south Wales, Marcher lord and native prince, Flemish noble and minor landholder are considered to show how crusading affected a broad spread of society. Finally, the political role of crusading participation as a way to remove potential troublemakers and cement English control over Wales is considered as the close of the peak years of crusading coincided with the final conquest of Wales in 1282.

Nights in Flanders. Joseph Alfred Bradney, Latin Poet of the Great War
Author: Tom DeneirePublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1794740481
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
It is a little-known fact that during the Great War of 1914-1918 a handful of people wrote war poetry in Latin. Not from the safety of their book-laden desks, but very much with their boots in the mud. The most prolific of these Latin war poets was Colonel Sir Joseph Alfred Bradney (1859-1923), who in 1919 even published a booklet Noctes Flandricae or Nights in Flanders with war poetry written in Belgium and France. This book tells the story of both his Latin poetry and his involvement in the Great War.
