    The Crusader States - Kingdoms...

    The story of the Crusader States begins with a cry for help and a call to arms that would echo across Christendom. In 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II delivered a fiery sermon urging the Christian knights of Europe to take up arms and reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. This call to crusade was not merely a military summons—it was framed as a sacred duty, a spiritual journey that promised the remission of sins and eternal reward for those who participated. The response was overwhelming. Nobles, peasants, and knights alike took up the cross, inspired by religious fervor, promises of salvation, and, for some, the allure of land and glory. 
    The roots of the crusading movement were complex. The Byzantine Empire, under threat from the Seljuk Turks, had appealed to the West for military support. Urban II seized the opportunity not only to assist a fellow Christian empire but also to assert papal authority, redirect knightly violence away from Europe, and perhaps reunite the Eastern and Western Churches. His appeal resonated deeply in a Europe rife with feudal conflict, religious devotion, and a growing warrior culture. The concept of "holy war" gave new legitimacy to warfare as a religious act, transforming knights into pilgrims with a sword. 
    The First Crusade, launched in 1096, was both chaotic and remarkable. It was not a single army but a series of loosely organized forces, including the infamous People's Crusade led by Peter the Hermit, which was largely destroyed before reaching the Holy Land. The main crusading armies followed, composed of powerful lords such as Godfrey of Bouillon, Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemond of Taranto, and others. These forces traversed hostile territory, besieged cities, and faced hunger, disease, and internal divisions. Yet, against the odds, they succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in July 1099.

    Ernest Hemingway embraced adventure and courted glamorous friends while writing articles, novels, and short stories that captivated the world. Hemingway’s personal relationships and experiences influenced the content of his fiction, while the progression of places where the author chose to live and work shaped his style and rituals of writing. Whether revisiting the Italian front in A Farewell to Arms, recounting a Pamplona bull run in The Sun Also Rises, or depicting a Cuban fishing village in The Old Man and the Sea, setting played an important part in Hemingway’s fiction. The author also drew on real people—parents, friends, and fellow writers, among others—to create memorable characters in his short stories and novels.   In Influencing Hemingway: The People and Places That Shaped His Life and Work Nancy W. Sindelar introduces the reader to the individuals who played significant roles in Hemingway’s development as both a man and as an artist—as well as the environments that had a profound impact on the a
