Although cross relics flooded Western Christendom after 1204, these three relics, acquired directly from the Byzantine emperor, were specifically associated with Constantine and Heraclius and their historic military victories against enemies of Christian empire. The article identifies one of the three relics, known to contemporaries as the crux triumphalis in Latin and the croix de victoire in French, which Byzantine emperors were said to have carried into battle, as a relic that Louis IX then brought with him on his crusade of 1249-50 to Egypt, in hopes of martialing its historic power against the infidel in battle.

The evidence of its medieval transmission in breviaries and other liturgical manuscripts clarifies the text's multiple authorship and the stages of its transmission. Further, a new edition is provided, based on newly discovered thirteenth-century exemplars of the text.

The papers as a whole demonstrate how the study of the liturgy can open up the religious and cultural history of the crusades and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, reveal crusade spirituality and practice, and trace how the Latins of Outremer expressed through their liturgy their historical consciousness and awareness of contemporary realities.

This longer version allows us to include a section on the relations between the University and the court (which had been cut in 2014 for reasons of space), and also to update bibliography through 2016. It should be noted that the updates are not systematic, but merely reflect areas in which we have been reading over the last two years. Abstract: The sharp ascent of Capetian power between the reigns of Philip II Augustus (r. 1180-1223) and Philip IV the Fair (r. 1285-1314) is an axiom of medieval French history. In the mid-twentieth century, French and American institutional historians focused on governmental developments in analyzing the means by which the Capetian kings increased their real authority. But because Capetian power was also understood to have rested as much on ideological claims as on brute force, twentieth-century historians from Marc Bloch to Joseph Strayer already recognized cultural components as crucial to this story. Consequently, later twentieth-century turns toward cultural history and post-structural theory did not so much undermine as open up new possibilities for this established narrative. Most recently, a sophisticated new brand of institutional history has emerged to further invigorate a thriving field, which defines Capetien power in ways that necessitate the inclusion of ideology, art, sanctity, gender, crusade, persecution, and intellectual authority in an overarching conceptualization of the period's political history.
