The Sword and the Cross: Castile-León in the Era of Fernando III
Published 31 March 2020
This volume provides a series of new perspectives on the political, military, and religious history of the reign of Fernando III, king of Castile-Leon, from 1217-1252. The essays collected here address the conquest of al-Andalus and the policies of Fernando III, Christian-Muslim relations in the Peninsula, the creation and curation of royal networks of power, the role of women at the Castilian court, and the impact of religious change in Castile-Leon. Assembling an international group of eleven leading scholars on this period of Iberian history, this volume combines military and religious history with a variety of novel approaches and methodologies to ask new and exciting questions about the reign of Fernando III and his place in medieval European history.
