| Summary: | The Christian holy wars known as the crusades are amongst the most well-known events of the Middle Ages and continue to influence perceptions of Christian-Muslim relations to the present day. Less often acknowledged is the fact that treaties and negotiations across religious boundaries were a continuous feature throughout the crusading era. This article provides an outline of Christian-Muslim peacemaking during the crusades to the East, as well as an introduction to how inter-religious diplomacy has been interpreted in crusades historiography. It then considers the broader implications of peacemaking for the study of the crusades and recommends potential areas for further research. |
