Crusades, Historiography, Jordanian Historians.Abstract
This study highlights the research of Jordanian scholars about the history of the Crusades by showcasing the importance of their research and efforts in filling gaps in some fields such as the initial conquest of the Syrian cities, the Crusader states such as Edessa or the feudal territory of Tiberias, and the case of Jordanian territory in studies about the territory of Oultrejourdain including Karak and ‘Aqaba. This study examines the writings of such Jordanian historians as Muna Hammad and Isam Uqlah and their treatment of such subjects as Crusader women, prisoners of war and the role of the leaders of the jihad like Saladin al-Ayyubi, the Turkman Emir Sewar ibn Aitkin, the Artukid Belek ibn Bahram and some of the ministers of the Fatimid Caliphate.
