In this Historical Dictionary of the Crusades, the introduction provides an overview, tracing the crusades from one expedition to the next, and assessing their impact, the chronology examines the chain of events, and maps trace the events geographically. The entries, and there are more than 300 of them in this second edition, examine notable figures, including Pope Gregory VII, Richard “the lionhearted,” and Saladin, as well as important places such as Jerusalem and Constantinople; events, battles and sieges, as well as the use of weapons and armor. The bibliography lists sources for further reading.
