About this Item

Title

  • The Kingdom of Jerusalem & War Against the Infidel: 16th-Century Doctrines of Just War & the Origins of the Spanish Empire

Summary

  • Kluge Fellow Andrew Devereux examined the legal and moral questions of empire on the threshold of the early modern era by casting light on Spain's expansionary ventures in the Mediterranean basin in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. His talk focused on Spain's Mediterranean expansion, particularly on Spanish designs on the Holy Land and the ways in which the acquisition of the title to the defunct crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem served as the basis for legal arguments justifying war and conquest in a range of lands inhabited by non-Christian peoples.
