Ricca e opulenta capitale crociata, Acri cade nel 1291 segnando la fine della presenza latina in Terrasanta. L'Occidente accolse attonito la notizia, vedendo spegnersi la speranza di riconquistare Gerusalemme.

La Edad Media abarca el espacio de tiempo comprendido desde comienzos del siglo V hasta finales del siglo XV. A lo largo de estas centurias, grandes desafíos pusieron a prueba, azotaron, y en ocasiones asolaron a las mujeres y hombres medievales. No obstante, siempre terminaron por sobreponerse a las terribles guerras, pestes, hambrunas, crisis, revueltas y demás jinetes apocalípticos que intermitentemente los persiguieron durante mil largos años de Edad Media.

Sotto la definizione di Medioevo rientra un intero millennio, nel corso del quale le armi, le tecniche, le strategie militari subirono profondi cambiamenti. Altrettanto estesa è la varietà dei fronti, dalla penisola iberica al Medio Oriente, passando attraverso l'Italia, i territori anglofrancesi e l'Europa orientale. La guerra medievale, inoltre, è contrassegnata da conflitti la cui portata ha rivestito un ruolo cruciale nella storia dell'umanità.

Si hubo un comienzo en la brecha entre Oriente y Occidente, fue este. En este audio libro, Juan Ignacio Cuesta nos propone una completísima guía para entender el fenómeno de las Cruzadas. La novedad de la obra es que introduce la visión de los musulmanes, invadidos y tratados con crueldad por los cruzados que, amparados en la defensa de la fe, escondían velados intereses económicos.

Una dinastía que supo expandirse por el Mediterráneo y crear, a golpe de hierro, uno de los reinos más importantes de toda la Edad Media. Es un lugar común en el estudio de la historia de España, centrarse en la historia de Castilla a la hora de estudiar la Edad Media y dedicarle menos tiempo al estudio de la Corona de Aragón. David González Ruiz, en un estilo cercano a la narración -como corresponde a este periodo de batallas y traiciones pretende señalar la importancia del reino de Aragón, que fue más decisivo en el devenir de la historia....

Di tutte le civiltà che esistevano nell'anno Mille, quella dell'Europa occidentale sembrava la peggior candidata per un futuro radioso. Paragonati agli imperi scintillanti di Bisanzio o dell'Islam, i regni frammentati affacciati sull'Atlantico sembravano poveri, impauriti e poco sviluppati. Ma l'anarchia di quegli anni non era il presagio per la fine del mondo, ma la fucina di un ordine radicalmente diverso.

King Arthur is probably the most famous and certainly the most legendary medieval king. From the early ninth century through the middle ages, to the Arthurian romances of Victorian times, the tales of this legendary figure have blossomed and multiplied. And in more recent times, there has been a continuous stream of books claiming to have discovered the "facts" about, or to unlock the secret or truth behind, the "once and future king". Broadly speaking, there are two Arthurs.

In 1144 the mutilated body of William of Norwich, a young apprentice leatherworker, was found abandoned outside the city's walls. The boy bore disturbing signs of torture, and a story spread that it was a ritual murder, performed by Jews, in imitation of the Crucifixion as a mockery of Christianity. The outline of William's tale eventually gained currency far beyond Norwich, and the idea that Jews engaged in ritual murder became firmly rooted in the European imagination.

In The Rule of Empires, Timothy Parsons gives a sweeping account of the evolution of empire from its origins in ancient Rome to its most recent twentieth-century embodiment. He explains what constitutes an empire and offers suggestions about what empires of the past can tell us about our own historical moment. Parsons uses imperial examples that stretch from ancient Rome, to Britain's "new" imperialism in Kenya, to the Third Reich to parse the features common to all empires, their evolutions and self-justifying myths, and the reasons for their inevitable decline.

In just over a hundred years - from the death of Muhammad in 632 to the beginning of the Abbasid Caliphate in 750 - the followers of the Prophet swept across the whole of the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain. Their armies threatened states as far flung as the Franks in Western Europe and the Tang Empire in China. The conquered territory was larger than the Roman Empire at its greatest expansion, and it was claimed for the Arabs in roughly half the time.

Who was Robin Hood? Throughout history the figures of the hooded man of Sherwood Forest and his band of outlaws have transfixed readers, listeners, and viewers; but where does the myth come from? The story appeared out of the legend of the Green man, but found its location during the reign of Richard I, the Lionheart, who was away from England fighting in the crusades. In his absence, his brother John laid waste to the country. But does this tell the full story?

Richard II was young, handsome, and elegant. Last living child of the brilliant Black Prince, he came to the throne bearing the hopes of his people on his shoulders. His court glittered; his tastes were refined; his portraits shone with gold. Regal, composed, aloof, he was the very picture of majesty. He became a murderous, capricious tyrant. His favorites plotted against his family. He rewrote the laws of England to give himself absolute power. He raised an army against his own subjects. His subjects deposed him.

Warriors of the Cloisters tells how key cultural innovations from Central Asia revolutionized medieval Europe and gave rise to the culture of science in the West. Medieval scholars rarely performed scientific experiments, but instead contested issues in natural science, philosophy, and theology using the recursive argument method. This highly distinctive and unusual method of disputation was a core feature of medieval science, the predecessor of modern science.

The medieval Catholic Church, widely considered a source of intolerance and inquisitorial fervor, was not anti-science during the Dark Ages - in fact, the pope in the year 1000 was the leading mathematician and astronomer of his day. Called The Scientist Pope, Gerbert of Aurillac rose from peasant beginnings to lead the church. By turns a teacher, traitor, kingmaker, and visionary, Gerbert is the first Christian known to teach math using the nine Arabic numerals and zero.

How much of our fate is tied to the status of our parents and grandparents? How much does this influence our children? More than we wish to believe. While it has been argued that rigid class structures have eroded in favor of greater social equality, The Son Also Rises proves that movement on the social ladder has changed little over eight centuries.
