Written by a Cypriot knight who served the Templar Master William of Beaujeu as an Arabic translator and a member of his immediate retinue, the 'Templar of Tyre' provides precious contemporary insights, often drawn from the author's personal experience, into events beginning in the early 1230s and ending in 1309 in the East and 1314 in the West. Notably, it covers the last days of the mainland Crusader states and the fall of Acre in 1291 (providing our only eyewitness chronicle of this disaster), as well as providing information on the period following 1291. The author also reports various events in the West, including the wars of the Hohenstaufen in Italy, the rise and fall of Simon de Montfort in England, the trial and dissolution of the Templars in France, and the interminable wars of Genoa and Venice across the Mediterranean. This is the first complete translation of the 'Templar of Tyre' into English.Crusade texts in translation.CrusadesFourth, 1202-1204HistorySourcesCrusades13th-15th centuriesHistorySourcesLatin OrientHistorySourcesAcre (Israel)HistorySiege, 1291SourcesCyprusHistorySourcesJerusalemHistoryLatin Kingdom, 1099-1244SourcesCrusadesHistoryCrusadesHistory940.1/84Crawford Paul1961-,905126FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910154977803321The 'Templar of Tyre2024401UNINA
