Summary

Some Latin monasteries were not founded in the wake of the First Crusade but had already existed before 1095. Two in particular, St Mary Latin and Notre-Dame de Josapahat, both of which are examples of growing western interest in the Holy Land in the eleventh century, reflect the dominance of the Benedictine form of monasticism in that period. Other Benedictine monasteries were founded in the Holy Land in the twelfth century, mostly in locations associated with biblical events. This chapter considers Benedictine monastic foundations in the Holy Land from before and after the First Crusade, and examines their role in land-holding and political society and how they coped with loss of income and vocations in the thirteenth century after the conquests by Saladin in 1187.
