Historiarum libri quinque ab anno incarnationis DCCCC usque ad annum MXLIV by Radulphus Glaber sometimes is called a mirror on the roads of Europe around the year 1000. The author – a Burgundian Benedictine monk who spent a few years in the famous monastery of Cluny – presented a vivid description of Latin society in the first half of the 11th century. Glaber described religious enthusiasm, the pilgrimage movement, processes of social and economic transformation, the fear of Muslims, growing interest in the situation in the Holy Land, and other factors that laid the groundwork for the crusading movement. Fifty years after Glaber’s death, Pope Urban II made his famous appeal in Clermont, launching the era of the Crusades, which lasted for more than 200 years. The enthusiastic response of thousands of knights, priests and civilians suggests that European society was ready for a holy war to liberate Christ’s tomb and the Holy Land from the hands of the infidels. The concept of the Crusades must have been growing for decades before 1095. Historiarum libri quinque… is the best proof that Europeans were mentally prepared for the Crusades long before 1095.

Charisma in Relation: Peter the Hermit and the Ecclesiastic Hierarchy

The Crusades were—and still are—considered as papal wars. However, the phenomenon was also a setting of other authorities, like Peter the Hermit. Drawing on Weber’s sociology of charisma, this article seeks to examine the relationship between the Hermit and Pope Urban ii. While Weber postulates a necessary tension between the charisma of office and genuine charisma, e.g., between priests and prophets, the historical evidence is remarkably different: the chroniclers have portrayed the relationship between the Pope and the Hermit as both complementary and supplementary. By taking this analytical perspective, the article seeks to historicize the almost axiomatic status of Weber’s theorem.

This article surveys the surviving material regarding Gregory VII and Eblous of Roucy's expedition to Iberia c. 1073. This is an expedition that usually has been overlooked which provides a glimpse in to Gregory VII's mindset with regard to the Iberian wars against the Muslims. This article assesses how Gregory attempted to use the current arguments for 'Holy War' to encourage Eblous and his followers to fight in the Christian-Muslim frontier. It also compares the papal plans with Eblous' probable motives as they can be discerned from sources and the circumstantial evidence. Furthermore, it addresses whether Eblous went to Iberia to fight the Muslims since some of the accounts seem to contradict each other. It will also explore the significance Acknowledgements: This article is based on my paper titled 'Gregory VII and Eblous II of Roucy Proto-Crusade in Iberia' presented at the conference 'From Heraclius to Urban II: Trends and Themes in Medieval Christian Holy War' at Trinity College, University of Cambridge on 1 May 2015. I like to offer my gratitude to my wife Dr Naho Shiba (Aichi Gakuin University) for her help in editing this article. Also, I like to offer my thanks to the Archivio Segreto Vaticano (Vatican City),
