The Avignon Papacy and the Crusades, 1305-1378 cover

The crusading movement of the fourteenth century, and the support given to it by the Popes at Avignon, is the central theme of this study. By focusing on the crusading policy of the papal Curia it also illuminates other fields of Avignonese activity.

'beautifully printed and produced...It displays the same breadth of scope, the same knowledge of source material as its predecessor...While no recent research has been neglected, there is a great deal here which has been hitherto neglected by crusading and other historians.'
