Settlement and Crusade in the Thirteenth Century delves into previously under-explored facets of the crusading movement and the Latin East during the thirteenth century. In honor of the 800th anniversary of the construction of Atlit Castle, a substantial portion of this volume is dedicated to the castle, which stands as one of the most remarkable structures built in the Latin East. Scholarly discourse has centered on the motivations behind the castle's construction, its pivotal role in defending the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the thirteenth century, and its significance for the Templar order. The studies presented in this volume shed new light on various aspects of the site, including its cemetery and the surveys conducted there. Furthermore, chapters explore Cyprus during the thirteenth century, which, under the Lusignan dynasty, emerged as a significant center of Latin settlement in the East and a thriving trade hub. These chapters offer fresh insights into the intricate visual culture that flourished on the island, the dynamics between different social groups, and settlement patterns.

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this book appeals to scholars and students of the medieval era, as well as those with interests in the Crusades, archaeology, material culture, and art history.
