This is a rich and fascinating topic that involves a great deal of material culture. Despite being unable to visit the museums and see these objects in person, I’m sure you will create insightful projects that explore how exactly Europeans made sense of these objects.
In this blog, I’d like to list possible avenues of research that you might find to be interesting additions to your projects. All the resources that I list are either easily accessible online or can be part of your daily walk in London!
Coinage of the Crusades: Merging East and West, The Hunterian, University of Glasgow
Medieval Depictions of the Crusades, Medieval Manuscripts Blog, The British Library
Medieval Europe, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Statue of Richard I, Westminster, London
The Crusades, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Temple Church, London
This is certainly not an exhaustive list, but an indication of the huge range of resources available to you. I hope you find plenty of inspiration for your project!
