'THE CRUSADER STORM' w. Nicholas Morton (Ep.3: What was the Egyptian perspective?)
<p>This podcast mini-series is inspired by <a href="https://www.ntu.ac.uk/staff-profiles/arts-humanities/nicholas-morton" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Associate Professor Nicholas Morton</a>’s new book, The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Wars for the Middle East. Rather than repeating the familiar Western-focused crusader narrative, Morton deliberately moves beyond it. Traditional histories often centre European perspectives, framing the Crusades primarily as a story of Western knights, kings, and religious ambition. Morton instead eschews this narrow lens to create a far richer, multi-perspective account of the conflicts and the Crusader states that emerged in the medieval Middle East.</p><br><p>Across the series, we explore how Byzantine, Syrian, Egyptian and other regional voices shaped and experienced these wars. The result is an utterly fascinating re-examination of a world in constant flux, where alliances, cultures, and identities overlapped in unexpected ways. This mini-series brings Morton’s ground-breaking scholarship to life, revealing the Crusades as a truly global history of interconnected struggle and transformation.</p><br><p>This episode is part of a mini-series:</p><p>Ep.1: What was the Byzantine perspective on the crusades?</p><p>Ep.2: What was the Syrian perspective on the crusades?</p><p>Ep.3: What was the Egyptian perspective on the crusades?</p><br><p>Recommended works by Associate Professor Nicholas Morton:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crusader-Storm-Global-History-Middle/dp/1399818724/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XYQDBMS30D0L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.g5o98cKb4KSJUeVSJ0mL35jG9DDHYxrKcZ2foh1oIpG33hzOE4oi8JaQ03si8SXKXPZnoA9qWLD3hyfEdpACFh6fLsyURNT-xAVAaCnneNo.iy4olPXZ2rgKCzAkop9DpoX1ITdAh9n9n5k3on6RutA&dib_tag=se&keywords=crusader+storm&qid=1781813784&sprefix=crusader+storm%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.95fd378e-6299-4723-b1f1-3952ffba15af" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Wars for the Middle East</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/477Hj68" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Field of Blood: The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Middle East</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/45EGxvL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Crusader States and their Neighbours: A military history 1099-1187</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4oZKd4b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Encountering Islam on the First Crusade</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/45mRZgC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East</a></p><p> </p><p>Further reading:</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3JopgiQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Andrew Jotischky: Crusading and the Crusader States (2nd Ed.)</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4mMwQSC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jonathan Phillips: The Crusades 1095-1204</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3UCW8qx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jonathan Riley-Smith: The Crusades: A History</a></p><p> </p><p>If you would like to keep up to date with all things ‘Teach Medieval’, you can find us on:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/teachmedieval" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@teachmedieval</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/teachmedieval" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TeachMedieval</a></p><p>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@teachmedieval?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teach Medieval</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086312090674" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teach Medieval</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-pickering-01a68a2b4/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teach Medieval</a></p><p> </p><p>Main theme by <a href="https://aroshanti.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aroshanti</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
