Contents Background: the attraction of Jerusalem for pilgrims in the tenth and eleventh centuries -- Ademar of Chabannes: his life and writings -- Ademar on the celebration of the cross by Constantine, Heraclius, Charlemagne -- Jerusalem pilgrims from the West Frankish Kingdom in the tenth and early eleventh centuries in Ademar's writings -- Ademar's alpha perspective on Jerusalem and the cross -- Ademar's Omega perspective on Jerusalem and the cross -- Ademar's own pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1033 and his death
Summary The tenth and eleventh centuries are pivotal for the history of the West. The writings of Ademar of Chabannes, many of which are still unpublished, offer numerous insights into why these changes were occurring. Because his promotion of the cult of St. Martial of Limoges contains much that is exaggerated or even untrue, his writings have been viewed with suspicion. What this book seeks to do is make clear that such distrust is justified, but that there is much material in those manuscripts throwing light on the origins of the crusades, the rise of heresy, the great feudal warfare and the reality of apocalyptic fear
