Crónicas de História, Cultura e Cidadania
A convite da Direção do “Diário de Coimbra”, João Gouveia Monteiro manteve durante quase dois anos uma coluna quinzenal nas páginas deste órgão da imprensa regional. Este livro compila as 40 crónicas que então escreveu, entre Setembro de 2009 e Julho de 2011. Ligeiramente revistas e adaptadas para efeitos desta edição, essas crónicas organizam-se aqui em três territórios confluentes: “Viagens pela História” (20 crónicas, cobrindo temas variados de História política, militar e cultural europeia da Antiguidade, da Idade Média e dos inícios da Época Moderna); “O Olhar da Cultura” (10 crónicas, várias delas sobre o livro e a leitura, em especial entre os jovens...
War in the Iberian Peninsula, 700–1600
War in the Iberian Peninsula, 700–1600 is a panoramic synthesis of the Iberian Peninsula including the kingdoms of Leon and Castile, Aragon, Portugal, Navarra, al-Andalus and Granada. It offers an extensive chronology, covering the entire medieval period and extending through to the sixteenth century, allowing for a very broad perspective of Iberian history which displays the fixed and variable aspects of war over time. The book is divided kingdom by kingdom to provide students and academics with a better understanding of the military interconnections across medieval and early modern Iberia. The continuities and transformations within Iberian military history are showcased in the majority of chapters through markers to different periods and phases, particularly between the Early and High Middle Ages, and the Late Middle Ages. With a global outlook, coverage of all the most representative military campaigns, sieges and battles between 700 and 1600, and a wide selection of maps and images, War in the Iberian Peninsula is ideal for students and academics of military and Iberian history.
Journal of Medieval Military History
This volume focuses on two of the most vibrant areas of research in the field: Crusader studies and the warfare of the Late Middle Ages, embracing a diversity of approaches. Chapters look at the battle of Tell Bashir (1108) in the context of Saljuq politics; the defenses of 'Altit castle, one of the Templars' strongest fortifications, from an archaeological perspective; the involvement of the Military Orders in secular conflicts, particularly in Europe; and how royal women affected and were affected by the wars of Castile and the Crown of Aragon in the fourteenth century. Fencing competitions are used to explore masculinity and status in Strasbourg from the late Middle Ages into the early mo...
Crusading at the Edges of Europe
This book is the first to compare Denmark and Portugal systematically in the High Middle Ages and demonstrates how the two countries became strong kingdoms and important powers internationally by their participation in the crusading movement. Communication in the Middle Ages was better developed than often assumed and institutions, ideas, and military technology was exchanged rapidly, meaning it was possible to coordinate great military expeditions across the geographical periphery of Western Europe. Both Denmark and Portugal were closely connected to the sea and developed strong fleets, at the entrance to the Baltic and in the Mediterranean Seas respectively. They also both had religious borders, to the pagan Wends and to the Muslims, that were pushed forward in almost continuous crusades throughout the centuries. Crusading at the Edges of Europe follows the major campaigns of the kings and crusaders in Denmark and Portugal and compares war-technology and crusading ideology, highlighting how the countries learned from each other and became organised for war.
International Relations and Heritage
Patchwork in times of plurality encompasses the multitude of actions as a revealing symbol of ethos, actors, organisms, and manifestations of preservation and dialogue frontiers. This plural metaphor, almost like a patchwork, aggregates and yet segregates, conforms, but disfigures, and boosts the meanings which represent this new field that international relations have been recently crossing. Just like the mirror metaphor - that reflects everything to all and, sometimes, intervenes in distortions - the patchwork analogy allowed the book to take responsibility for the disclosure of preservation actions on a global scale. The book has a pioneering role insofar since it is the only publication ...

Os Templários
PEREGRINOS . GUERREIROS . BANQUEIROS . HERÉTICOS Os Templários foram a mais rica e poderosa e a mais secreta das ordens militares que floresceram na era das cruzadas. A sua história - que passa pelo maior conflito internacional da Idade Média, por uma rede financeira global, e pela ascensão veloz seguida de uma queda sangrenta e humilhante - deixou um rasto de mistério que continua a fascinar e a inspirar historiadores e romancistas e a alimentar teorias da conspiração. Dan Jones documenta cada fase da história de duzentos anos dos Templários, desde a sua fundação no começo do século XII como ordem de caridade para prestar apoio aos peregrinos que visitavam a Terra Santa; o seu...
