Oxford Professor
Shatters Crusade Myths
Jerusalem — The idea that
the Crusades were conducted
by "hordes of peasants leav-
ing their fields in sporadic
outbreaks of mass hysteria to
travel to the far ends of the
known world, relying on
nothing but God and charity,
is a romantic myth," said
Prof. C. J. Tyerman of Oxford
University at an interna-
tional conference on the
Crusades held under the
sponsorship of the history
department of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, in
association with the Univer-
sity of Haifa and the Society
for the Study of the Crusades
and the Latin East.
On the contrary, argued
Prof. Tyerman, historical
evidence points to the fact
that those who went on the
Crusades were either men of
means themselves, or were
able to raise at least some of
the funds to subsidize their
journey and pay for necessary
armor, clothes, food and other
needs. In many instances, pro-
perty was sold to raise the
necessary money, he said.
"Only an expanding, rich
and economically and social-
ly diverse yet ordered Europe
could have sustained a move-
ment that depended initially
on organization and money,"
said Prof. Tyerman. The
Crusaders included
noblemen, merchants and ar-
tisans as well as common (but
not impoverished) folk. There
were criminals as well, some
sentenced to go on the
Crusades, and others joining
to escape punishment.
The conference was held on
the 800th anniversary of the
battle of the Horns of Hittin,
a decisive campaign in which
the army of Saladin defeated
the Crusade forces in the
lower Galilee. The 1187 bat-
tle is generally considered to
have been the turning point
that led to the ultimate
downfall of Crusader rule in
the Holy Land. The con-
ference participants visited
the site of the historical
battle.
