A arte da guerra em Portugal: 1245 a 1367
O nosso objecto de estudo seria, portanto, a organização e a prática da guerra em Portugal durante o período anterior ao das Guerras Fernandinas, observadas, como havia já sido feito por João Gouveia Monteiro, numa perspectiva de “história da guerra total” e não apenas num plano puramente marcial, da estratégia e da táctica. De facto, como sublinhava Robert L. O´Connell, num estudo sobre as raízes sociológicas dos conflitos militares, a guerra “não é simplesmente violência armada. É antes uma instituição específica, premeditada e dirigida por uma forma de estrutura de governo; ligada com questões de natureza social e não individual; envolvendo a participação (ainda que nem sempre entusiástica) dos combatentes e que pretende obter resultados duradouros e não efémeros”. É esta instituição e as suas principais vertentes que procuraremos compreender melhor ao longo deste trabalho.
Crusades
Crusades covers the seven hundred years from the First Crusade (1095-1102) to the fall of Malta (1798) and draws together scholars working on theatres of war, their home fronts and settlements from the Baltic to Africa and from Spain to the Near East and on theology, law, literature, art, numismatics and economic, social, political and military history. Routledge publishes this journal for The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East. Particular attention is given to the publication of historical sources - narrative, homiletic and documentary - but studies and interpretative essays are welcomed too. Crusades also incorporates the Society's Bulletin. The editors are Professor Jonathan Phillips, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK; Iris Shagrir, The Open University of Israel; Professor Benjamin Z. Kedar, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel; and Nikolaos G. Chrissis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.

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...
The World the Plague Made
A groundbreaking history of how the Black Death unleashed revolutionary change across the medieval world and ushered in the modern age In 1346, a catastrophic plague beset Europe and its neighbours. The Black Death was a human tragedy that abruptly halved entire populations and caused untold suffering, but it also brought about a cultural and economic renewal on a scale never before witnessed. The World the Plague Made is a panoramic history of how the bubonic plague revolutionized labour, trade, and technology and set the stage for Europe’s global expansion. James Belich takes readers across centuries and continents to shed new light on one of history’s greatest paradoxes. Why did Europ...
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.

Essays on Production and Trade in Late Medieval Iberia and the Mediterranean
From the tenth century on, technical and technological advancements in agriculture resulted in an unprecedented growth of cultivated land in Europe, which would contribute to a progressive integration of markets. This economic drive occurred during a time of profound political, social, and religious change. In certain parts of Europe, citystates emerged to become the standard form of polity, breaking away from previous ruling models and thrusting a new era of urban life and economic development. This period was also marked by the zenith of Islam throughout the Middle East, the Maghreb, and the Iberian Peninsula, with its people revolutionising agricultural production. Through specific case studies, this book aims to understand how these pieces of the medieval economy worked and evolved, how distinctive they were from one region to another, and what consequences local, regional, and international trade have had in people’s everyday lives.
