The Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia During the Crusades by Jacob Ghazarian Pdf

This unique study bridges the history of the Crusades with the history of Armenian nationalism and Christianity. To the Crusaders, Armenian Christians presented the only reliable allies in Anatolia and Asia Minor, and were pivotal in the founding of the Crusader principalities of Edessa, Antioch, Jerusalem and Tripoli. The Anatolian kingdom of Cilicia was founded by the Roupenian dynasty (mid 10th to late 11th century), and grew under the collective rule of the Hetumian dynasty (late 12th to mid 14th century). After confrontations with Byzantium, the Seljuks and the Mongols, the Second Crusade led to the crowning of the first Cilician king despite opposition from Byzantium. Following the Third Crusade, power shifted in Cilicia to the Lusignans of Cyprus (mid to late 14th century), culminating in the final collapse of the kingdom at the hands of the Egyptian Mamluks.

Armenia and the Crusades by Matthew (of Edessa) Pdf

The clash of cultures, peoples, and religions in the Near East is dramatically portrayed in this primary source of major importance. Matthew of Edessa, an Armenian monk, was eyewitness to the leading events of the period, such as the first appearance of the Turks in the Near East, the campaigns of the early Crusaders, and the massive struggle for domination that characterized relations between Byzantium, the Latin West, the Arabs, and the Turks. Matthew was also aware of the position of other nations, such as the Armenians, Georgians, and Syrians. Upon the death of Matthew the narration was continued by another Armenian monk, Gregory the Priest.

Armenian Cilicia XII - XIV Century by John Armenia Pdf

It is a history of frequent conquest by rival empires and periods when the Armenians established independent kingdoms two centuries before Christ between Rome and Persia. The conversion of Armenia to Christianity in AD 314, the first among Christian nations, created a unique cultural heritage in its literature, architecture, and historical writing. While the book covers the span of three millennia, the main focus is on the relatively little known Kingdom of Armenian Cilicia and its close relations with the Crusader states in the Near East. The numerous ties of this kingdom with the West from the XI to the XIV century would also serve to emphasize its significance for a more complete history of Europe. Strongly attached to their brand of Christian spirituality and to their oral and written language, which helped them in their almost miraculous survival, the Armenian never lost their culture. Giving frequent proof of their adherence to ideals of a life they considered inalienable, at the turn of the 20th century they were almost annihilated by a genocidal catastrophe. But they survived by adapting to new forms of life in a small independent republic and in the lands of the diaspora. It is a story which might stir up a romantic passion in the kindly-disposed reader, but it may also offer reflection and meditation in others.

The Crusades by David Nicolle Pdf

Born of a mixture of religious fervour, military ardour and political will, the Crusades ( 1095 - 1291) remain a fascinating and misunderstood aspect of medieval history. Born amid immense suffering and bloodshed the Kingdom of Jerusalem remained a battlefield for almost 200 years. The Crusades raised to campaign for it gave rise to the Military Orders of the Templars and Hopitallers as well as numerous smaller orders, and were a backdrop to the careers of some of history's most famous leaders including Richard 'The Lionheart' and Saladin. David Nicolle recounts the background and events of these fundamental campaigns that scarred the Late Medieval period.

Armenians in the Byzantine Empire by Toby Bromige Pdf

Armenians in the Byzantine Empire is a new study exploring the relationship between the Armenians and Byzantines from the ninth through eleventh centuries. Utilising primary sources from multiple traditions, the evidence is clear that until the eleventh century Armenian migrants were able to fully assimilate into the Empire, in time recognized fully as Romaioi (Byzantine Romans). From the turn of the eleventh century however, migrating groups of Armenians seem to have resisted the previously successful process of assimilation, holding onto their ancestral and religious identity, and viewing the Byzantines with suspicion. This stagnation and ultimate failure to assimilate Armenian migrants into Byzantium has never been thoroughly investigated, despite its dire consequences in the late eleventh century when the Empire faced its most severe crisis since the rise of Islam, the arrival and settlement of the Turkic peoples in Anatolia.

The History of Armenia by S. Payaslian Pdf

There is a great deal of interest in the history of Armenia since its renewed independence in the 1990s and the ongoing debate about the genocide - an interest that informs the strong desire of a new generation of Armenian Americans to learn more about their heritage and has led to greater solidarity in the community. By integrating themes such as war, geopolitics, and great leaders, with the less familiar cultural themes and personal stories, this book will appeal to general readers and travellers interested in the region.

The Crusader States and Their Neighbours by Nicholas Morton Pdf

The Crusader States and their Neighbours explores the military history of the Medieval Near East, piecing together the fault-lines of conflict which entangled this much-contested region. This was an area where ethnic, religious, dynastic, and commercial interests collided and the causes of war could be numerous. Conflicts persisted for decades and were fought out between many groups including Kurds, Turks, Armenians, Arabs, and the crusaders themselves. Nicholas Morton recreates this world, exploring how each faction sought to advance its own interests by any means possible, adapting its warcraft to better respond to the threats posed by their rivals. Strategies and tactics employed by the pastoral societies of the Central Asian Steppe were pitted against the armies of the agricultural societies of Western Christendom, Byzantium, and the Islamic World, galvanising commanders to adapt their practices in response to their foes. Today, we are generally encouraged to think of this era as a time of religious conflict, and yet this vastly over-simplifies a complex region where violence could take place for many reasons and peoples of different faiths could easily find themselves fighting side-by-side.

Armenia by David Marshall Lang Pdf

Originally published in 1970, this book is the result of many years of study and research in the field. It begins with a geographic and ethnic survey of the land and Armenian people and traces the land’s prehistory back to the Old Stone Age. The origins of the wine-making and bronze-working industries are discussed, in which Armenia played a pioneering role. The outstanding Armenian contribution to Church art and architecture is also explored as is the contribution of Armenia to painting, philosophy, and science. The final section is devoted to an account of Soviet Armenia.
