HIST 362 - Queens, Caliphs, & Crusaders

Credits: 3
Knights, Queens, Caliphs and Crusaders: The Middle Ages between Fact and Fiction. Did knights in shining armor really exist? What were the real motivations for the Crusades begun in 1095? What roles did women play in medieval society - how much truth is there to the “damsel in distress”? This course investigates these and other common misperceptions about the middle ages (ca. 500-1500 CE) in Europe. Students will employ primary and secondary source evidence to explore questions about race, class, gender, politics and religion, comparing the historical rec-ord to the ways in which the middle ages have been depicted in such modern pop culture as television shows and films.
