GORDON M. REYNOLDS is a Medieval Historian and Heritage Professional. He gained his PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2021.

By reconfiguring what it meant to be on the "periphery" of the crusades, Reynolds makes a strong case for the existence of a culture of holy war that permeated medieval society. He effectively de-centers the crusades, both geographically and methodologically, demonstrating the extent to which support from the "home front" was integral to the success of the endeavor and how the momentum for holy war was sustained across centuries.
