PREFACE
In 1983 Variorum Publishers kindly undertook to publish two volumes of collected studies of mime. viz. Kreuzzüge und lateinischer Osten (Collected Studies 171) and Probleme des lateinischen Königreichs Jerusalem (Collected Studies 178). | am deeply grateful to Variorum Publishers and. in particular, to Dr John Smedley. for giving me the opportunity to follow this up with a third volume comprising 18 studies m German. English. and French published between 1982 and 1991. As in the previous two volumes the studies reprinted here are not chronologically arranged but rather according to subject matter. My work on the edition of the charters of the Latin Kings of Jerusalem has led me time and again towards problems connected with the monarchy.
Most of the studies in section I are owed to this work which is, at the moment. taking a big step forward as I am finishing the history of the chancery of the Latin Kings. Section II owes less to this edition. It deals to a large extent with a problem which, in 1959. baffled even as great a scholar as Joshua Prawer (Le Moyen Age vol. 65. p. 44): how did the lordships of the Latin kingdom come into existence? In investigating the lordships of Jaffa, Ramla-Lydda. Beirut, Caesarea. and Hebron I tned to show that the royal castellanies were one of the most important roots of the lordships.
It seems to me that Martin Rheinheimer. Das Kreuzfahrerfirstentum Galilaa (1990) demonstrated this even for the early history of the principality of Galilee. I should like to thank all publishers and editors of the periodicals in which the studies reprinted below were orginally published. for granting the necessary reprint permissions. | should like to offer my thanks to my successive secretaries. Ms. Annelie Gutow and Ms. Ute Gudschun. for much and indispensable help with the onginal publication of these studies and with the current reprint. My thanks also go to Ms. Julia Goette who, with habitual painstaking care. compiled the index. Kiel, July 1993
