Críticas

`the book successfully challenges some venerable orthodoxies ... this is an important work which makes a valuable contribution to the history of the Latin East.'EHR Oct 1993

`This is the most original and imaginative study of any aspect of the institutional history of the kingdom of Jerusalem to have appeared for a very long time.'Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society

`this is an open-minded and acute piece of research which, ... makes a genuinely original contribution to knowledge' Journal of Ecclesiastical History

'Tibble is to be congratulated on presenting a challenging case so meticulously.' C.J. Tyerman, Medium Aenum 1991

`By limiting his work to the lordships, he is able to compile impressive evidence in case after case to show that the monarchy was able to intervene effectively and resume control of some holdings for long periods and carve out new lordships or add lands to the royal domain throughout most of the period under study. Though the work is based exclusively on published materials, most of which have long been known, the author has subjected them to a critical scrutiny that yields conclusions that in most cases seem destined to endure for a long time. ... His book will serve us well.' James M. Powell, International Journal of Middle East Studies

Reseña del editor

Using contemporary sources, especially the chronicles of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Steven Tibble studies the relationship between monarchy and nobility in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. He argues that the relative power of the seigneuries has been substantially overstated, and that the monarch exercised far more control over the baronage and feudal structure, particularly in the twelfth century, than has hitherto been recognized.
