Thesis title: Crusade Diplomacy and the Kings of England, 1461-1528
My thesis uses previously unpublished archival material to argue that in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, crusading was neither primarily a commemorative chivalric throwback to family exploits of yore, nor yet a cynical ploy to wrest money or concessions out of a waning papacy, but rather formed a shared diplomatic framework to which the rulers and prelates of Europe subscribed, and a shared diplomatic language which they spoke in service of their wider geopolitical goals – which did, in fact, occasionally involve physical combat with the enemies of Christendom in an era of rapid Ottoman expansion and proto-colonial European expansion into largely Muslim-dominated territories in Africa.
