In the ensuing decades, the memory of the crusaders' bravery and pious sacrifice was invoked widely among the noble families of western Christendom. Popes preaching future crusades would count on these very same families for financing, leadership, and for the willing warriors who would lay down their lives on the battlefield. Despite the great risks and financial hardships associated with crusading, descendants of those who suffered and died on crusade would continue to take the cross, in some cases over several generations. Indeed, as Nicholas L. Paul reveals in To Follow in Their Footsteps, crusading was very much a family affair. Scholars of the crusades have long pointed to the importance of dynastic tradition and ties of kinship in the crusading movement but have failed to address more fundamental questions about the operation of these social processes. What is a "family tradition"? How are such traditions constructed and maintained, and by whom? How did crusading families confront the loss of their kin in distant lands? Making creative use of Latin dynastic narratives as well as vernacular literature, personal possessions and art objects, and architecture from across western Europe, Paul shows how traditions of crusading were established and reinforced in the collective memories of noble families throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Even rulers who never fulfilled crusading vows found their political lives dominated and, in some ways, directed by the memory of their crusading ancestors. Filled with unique insights and careful analysis, To Follow in Their Footsteps reveals the lasting impact of the crusades, beyond the expeditions themselves, on the formation of dynastic identity and the culture of the medieval European nobility. 606 $aCrusades$xInfluence 606 $aUpper class families$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aNobility$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFamilies of military personnel$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 607 $aEurope$xSocial conditions$yTo 1492 615 0$aCrusades$xInfluence. 615 0$aUpper class families$xHistory 615 0$aNobility$xHistory 615 0$aFamilies of military personnel$xHistory 615 0$aSocial history 676 $a909.07 700 $aPaul$b Nicholas$f1977-$01666298 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808732303321 996 $aTo follow in their footsteps$94025488 997 $aUNINA
