News Markland Corporate General Descriptions Rules ... The Pub The Mongols! Or How the Known World Was Won By: Dmitri Chernovolok of Wolves Haven and Arbiter Bibendi One cannot look at the medieval world without looking to the Mongols. The Mongol Empire, founded by your friend and mine Temuchin (Genghis Khan), had one of the greatest impacts on history. It had a greater affect then both Roman Empires, their buddies the Celts and the Crusades. And if you were to ask a Mongolian today they'll more then likely tell you that Genghis and his Mongols conquered the World. And that one phrase, conquered the World, sums it all up. Until the death of Mongke in 1259, it was the closest history had yet witnessed to a centralized world empire. But how did they do it? And why? We'll take a brief look at both. The "how" is pretty easy. But the "why" is not that easy. So I think we'll do the easy stuff first, then move on to the hard part. A Mongol Way of Doing Things Part 1: Arms, Armor and Warfare So you want to know how they did it? Well let's start out with the master of it all, Genghis. Now this guy knew how to make an empire. First off he eliminated his rivals, including his half brother Bekter. With fewer leaders to choose from, other Mongols found it easer to chose Genghis as their leader. Secondly he would reward his followers. So much so that he was known to give his own property to those that were faithful to him. This was the foundation in which Genghis could unite all of his people and some of the neighbors to boot. And it only took him about five years to do it. Not bad for a guy who couldn't read.

Crusading history and crusading ideology is a research area that has seen an immense growth internationally within the latest thirty years and is now increasingly becoming incorporated into Scandinavian medieval history, and the Danish Research Council for the Humanities has supported a three year project on Denmark and the crusading movement (1998-2001). It is the aim of this course to focus on medieval history writing mainly - but not exclusively - in a crusading context. It is also the aim to invite historians from Scandinavian universities to participate in a discussion about the future of research training in medieval history within the small research milieus that exist in Scandinavia.

We will start off with a look at the collapse of the Roman Empire and Rome s lasting legacy on the three civilizations that arose on its ashes: Byzantium , the Islamic world, and the medieval West. We will pay special attention to the continual interactions among these three civilizations over the course of the Middle Ages. Our main focus, however, will lie on the idiosyncratic characteristics of medieval Western Europe . Topics covered in the course include: the rise and fall of Charlemagne s empire; the agrarian and the commercial revolutions; the crusades and the beginning of European political expansion as well as the emergence of a persecuting society; the crisis of the fourteenth century; the recurrent conflicts between popes and kings; the rise of the European monarchies; and the recovery of the classical intellectual heritage. COURSE FORMAT: The course will be conducted through a combination of lectures and discussions of selected primary sources. All students must come to class having read and reflected on the source(s), and are expected to participate actively in class discussion. Five full class periods will be

Lebanon's History Medieval Lebanon The Arab Conquest, 634-36 The Umayyads, 660-750 The Abbasids, 750-1258 Impact of Arab Rule ... Summary The Arab Conquest, 634-36 The followers of the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, embarked on a movement to establish their religious and civil control throughout the eastern Mediterranean from their base in the Arabian Peninsula. Their determination to conquer other lands resulted both from economic necessity and from religious beliefs, which imbued them with contempt for death. Calling for a jihad (holy war) against non-Muslims, the Prophet's successor, Caliph Abu Bakr (632-34), brought Islam to the area surrounding Lebanon. Dividing his forces into three groups, he ordered one to move in the direction of Palestine, one toward Damascus, and one toward the Jordan River. The Arab groups under General Khalid ibn al Walid defeated the forces from in 636 at the Battle of Yarmuk in northwestern Jordan. Back to top The Umayyads, 660-750 After the Battle of Yarmuk, Caliph Umar appointed the Arab Muawiyah, founder of the Umayyad dynasty, as governor of Syria, an area that included present-day Lebanon. Muawiyah garrisoned troops on the Lebanese coast and had the Lebanese shipbuilders help him construct a navy to resist any potential Byzantine attack. He also stopped raids by the Marada, a powerful people who had settled in the Lebanese mountains and who were used by the Byzantine rulers to prevent any Arab invasion that would threaten the Byzantine Empire. Concerned with consolidating his authority in Arabia and Iraq, Muawiyah negotiated an agreement in 667 with Constantine IV, the Byzantine emperor, whereby he agreed to pay Constantine an annual tribute in return for the cessation of Marada incursions. During this period some of the Arab tribes settled in the Lebanese and Syrian coastal areas.

It is quite different from most other Osprey books, since the majority is dedicated to the describing the armies and their weaponary. As a result the book gives one a more indepth look at aspects other than the battle. While the 40 pages or so dedicated to the armies does not do either justice, it is a very good beginning. Where the book falls off is in the description of the battle. One would surmise that the lack of a full description is caused by the lack of information. However, this is a minor matter.

Office Hours: W 0830-1030; by appointment Spring 2004. platypus@darkwing.uoregon.edu General The Mongols swept out of the steppes under the leadership of Genghis Khan in the first decades of the thirteenth century and managed to create a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious empire that was the largest contiguous empire in world history. Even though by 1300 the "empire" had been broken up into four rival spheres, each of these was an empire in itself: the il-Khans in Persia, the Yuan in China, the Golden Horde in Russia, the Chaghadai khanate in central Asia. The Mongols sowed fear, and left lasting cultural and psychological traumas. They destroyed empires, kingdoms, ruling classes, and armies. Yet the Mongol empire actively promoted trade, human and intellectual exchanges, circulation of medical knowledge and pharmaceuticals between Islamic and Chinese traditions, and adopted policies of religious tolerance. The empire facilitated travel, and made possible the first extensive knowledge of Asia by Europeans via the reports and experiences of people such as Marco Polo and William of Rubruck.

However, Prof. Cantor generally avoids the troubles inherent in such an undertaking. His strong grasp of the philosophical problems of the time make for very entertaining reading. If youre looking for a great deal of material dealing with economic or social problems it might be wiser to look elsewhere. The work mainly deals with the struggle to define the place of the church within the state. IMHO, Prof. Cantor is at his best when discussing the implosion created by the rediscovery of Aristotle and the efforts of a young Europe to integrate his work into their Judeo-Platonic worldview.
