King Henry II of Cyprus, 1285–1324

Autor: Nicholas Coureas

Número de Páginas: 368

This book discusses the Lusignan kingdom of Cyprus and its interactions with Latin Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean under King Henry II (1285–1324). His eventful reign covered the loss of Latin Syria, the emergence of Cyprus and especially Famagusta as a major commercial hub in East–West trade, Cypriot relations with the papacy, the growing involvement of the Italian and French trading cities and of Catalonia in Cyprus and the existential threat faced by the Cilician kingdom of Armenia. It evaluates how effectively Henry II dealt with these pressing issues, a difficult task because of the highly biased extant evidence for his reign, especially regarding his brother Amaury’s seizure of power (1306–1310). It argues that while not a great monarch, Henry II was no mere cipher but was pro-active in defending the Latin East, in developing Famagusta, in assisting Cilician Armenia, in his dealings with foreign powers and in his relations with the papacy, the military orders and other branches of the Latin Church.

The Mongol Empire between Myth and Reality

Autor: Denise Aigle

Número de Páginas: 407

In The Mongol Empire between Myth and Reality, Denise Aigle presents the Mongol empire as a moment of contact between political ideologies, religions, cultures and languages, and, in terms of reciprocal representations, between the Far East, the Muslim East, and the Latin West. The first part is devoted to “The memoria of the Mongols in historical and literary sources” in which she examines how the Mongol rulers were perceived by the peoples with whom they were in contact. In “Shamanism and Islam” she studies the perception of shamanism by Muslim authors and their attempts to integrate Genghis Khan and his successors into an Islamic framework. The last sections deal with geopolitical questions involving the Ilkhans, the Mamluks, and the Latin West. Genghis Khan’s successors claimed the protection of “Eternal Heaven” to justify their conquests even after their Islamization.
