Crusade, Networks, Exchanges: Southern France and the Latin East in the 13th Century
Date
April 19-20, 2018
During the thirteenth century networks between southern France and the Latin East existed through the movement of objects and people. The waging of religious warfare both in France and abroad enabled the circulation of objects and the interaction of culture, languages, and social practices via the maritime and land routes of pilgrims and holy warriors. Two conferences at Stanford and University of Poitiers on “Crusade, Networks, and Exchanges” examined how the mobility of objects and people influenced artworks, architecture, and mentalities of crusading.
