This is the first and only book to examine the Crusades from the added viewpoint of psychoanalysis, studying the hidden emotions and fantasies that drove the Crusaders and the Muslims to undertake their terrible wars. The reader will learn that the deepest and most powerful motives for the Crusades were not only religious or territorial - or the quest for lands, wealth or titles - but also unconscious emotions and fantasies about one's country, one's religion, one's enemies, God and the Devil, Us and Them
Us and them -- Romans, Germans, and Berbers -- Frankish myths of origin -- From Franks to Crusaders -- The fantasy of the "Holy Roman Empire" -- A short history of the "Saracens" -- The First Crusade: a "pilgrimage" to rescue the "Holy Land" -- The fantastic "Kingdom of Jerusalem" -- The Second Crusade: persisting fantasies -- Templars and Hospitallers: monkish knights
