“…Noticeably, one of Rotrou's motives to join the wars in Iberia might have been his family connection through Eblous of Roucy's alliances with Aragon and Perche. 90 As Nicholas Paul has shown, familial connections and tradition played a vital role in the participation of multiple generations of crusaders in the frontier. 91 Furthermore, as he has also noted, recounting of family traditions of crusading and the desire for imitation by successive generation played a major role in recruiting later participants for these ventures.…”

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.

The Papacy and the Commutation of Crusading Vows From One Area of Conflict to Another (1095–c. 1300)

The practice of diverting crusaders from one area of conflict to another can be traced back at least as far as the beginning of the twelfth century. Commuting of vows in this way was early recognized to be a papal prerogative and usually involved crusaders who had originally vowed to go to the Holy Land. In the twelfth century commutations occurred on only a few occasions, when steps were taken to divert crusaders to the Iberian Peninsula when it was under serious threat. Commutations became much more frequent in the first half of the thirteenth century and were used to provide manpower against Christians as well as infidels. At that time popes often took the initiative: Gregory IX was anxious to provide help for the Latin Empire of Constantinople and Innocent IV and his successors needed assistance against the Hohenstaufen. The papacy did not, however, coerce crusaders, and many refused to commute their vows. Criticism of commuting was voiced, although the redeeming of vows for money attracted greater opprobrium. Commuting became less common in the closing decades of the thirteenth century, but the reasons for this decline are not explained in the sources and can only be conjectured.
