A History of the Counts of Brienne traces the origins of the Brienne dynasty from the tenth century, as counts of a small, minor county in the Champagne region of France, to prominent crusaders in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries, one of whom would go on to become king of Jerusalem and emperor of Constantinople. In the late 1090s, impelled by the words of Pope Urban II, thousands of Europeans took up arms and set out from Western Europe to reclaim Jerusalem from the Saracens. Jerusalem was recaptured, and the ruling classes of the Latin East were formed by nobles, predominantly French, who established themselves as kings, princes and magnates. After the success of the First Crusade, word of the defeat of the Saracens and the opportunity for upward mobility in the Holy Land began to spread rapidly across the West and additional waves of crusaders and settlers made their way to the Levant. French dynasties, usually titled, landed families of some sway, such as the Lusignan, the Montlhery, the Montfort, and the Brienne, amongst others, were attracted to the Holy Land for various reasons: some due to religiosity, others for the opportunity to further increase their landholdings and wealth. In A History of the Counts of Brienne, Dana Celeste Robinson brings into focus the importance of family, tradition of crusading and pilgrimage, and political advancement through marriage in the Latin East to the Brienne and other families at a time when the seeds of geo-political unrest were planted: its fruit an unfortunate legacy as the struggle for peace in the Holy Land continues today. In a panoramic assessment using archival research, this comprehensive history of the counts of Brienne and their origins serves as an original work of scholarship on the preeminence of localized power in Medieval France and the ascendancy of dynastic influence in the Holy Land during the age of the crusades.

Picturing Kingship presents the first comprehensive art-historical study of the personal prayerbook of King Louis IX. The book approaches the St. Louis Psalter through a rich range of perspectives and methodologies and positions it within the contexts of its production and use. Not only is the manuscript's production and structure given detailed study, but the king's ways of handling his prayerbook--his habits of reading, looking, and praying--are also set forth in a compelling narrative of his view of his sacred responsibilities as king. In the first half of the book, Stahl investigates the Psalter's physical construction and development within the context of manuscript production in thirteenth-century Paris. The second half looks at the Psalter's thematic and iconographic workings and the role of the king's adviser--Vincent of Beauvais--in the Psalter's shaping. Most important, though, the author delves into the meanings the Psalter might have held for the king, who was a crusader and so devout a Christian that he was canonized by Boniface VIII. Stahl makes it clear that the Psalter, already recognized as one of the true masterworks of thirteenth-century French culture, should also be recognized as a significant force in Louis IX's life and reign.
