Raynald of Châtillon through the eyes of Arab, Byzantine and Latin chroniclers
SMOLKA, Cyril
This thesis focuses on life of Reynald of Châtillon, a crusader-leader during the period of the Crusades and the strife between Christianity and Islam. Because of the inevitable interconnection between the life of Reynald, his mentions in contemporary sources and the events in the Levant, the first chapters explain the first fifty years of the Crusader states in the Near East. In the later part, the character of Reynald is introduced and the chapters focus on his role in the unfolding events. The author tried to compare two conflicting views in the modern historiography, taking into account what the sources tell us about this interesting historical figure.
