This volume treats questions of royal authority and power in the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. The text examines the relationship between the monarchy and the Church, questions of royal succession and aspects of the royal chancery. It also traces the king's efforts to create a new clientele of loyal vassals. A second group of studies looks at the origins and development of the lordships of the kingdom, notably at the important county of Jaffa and at the role of the Ibelin, the most significant family in the land.
