HIST 3450 - The Crusades

This class will examine the Crusades from their origin to the end of the Latin Kingdoms in the Middle East (1291). In addition, we will explore not only the arrival of Franks (Western Europeans), but also the roles other actors in the history of the Crusades such as the Byzantines, Mongols, Turkic Mamluks, and Armenians. As we trace the history of the Crusades, the class will also discuss the impact of this event on other regions of the world such as Eastern Europe and Spain. (EUROPEAN, ASIAN OR WORLD HISTORY)
