Description: This book is a major contribution to the history of the Crusades in the Levant and the only scholarly study of medieval Cyprus.
Review Quotes: '... undoubtedly the most important contribution in English to the history of the Cypriot kingdom since [Sir George] Hill's work [of 1948] ... Edbury's book on the Kingdom of Cyprus and the crusades is certainly both a stimulating piece of research and an important synthesis of early and recent scholarly achievements in this field. The author does not take any authority for granted, going back to the original sources, examining them in the most critical and balanced manner, and drawing from them original and sometimes illuminating conclusions.'
