Teaching and Research Interests

My main research and teaching interests include the study of diplomatic, military and cultural interaction in the eastern Mediterranean world in the age of the Crusades (c. 1000-1350).
More specifically, topics I am interested in include: the Fatimids, Seljuks, Ayyubids and, especially, Mamluks; the Mediaeval Armenian kingdom; the Mongols in the West; the Crusades, especially the later expeditions and planned expeditions to the Middle East; Crusading and Byzantium, and the Fourth Crusade; Capetian France.
