Enigma of the De Expugnatione Lyxbonensi

Pages 99-129 | Received 14 Dec 2015, Accepted 11 Mar 2016, Published online: 30 Mar 2016
 

ABSTRACT

One of the most famous works in Portuguese Medieval History and, certainly, the most well-known outside Portugal, the De Expugnatione Lyxbonensi purports to furnish a contemporary eye-witness account of Portuguese King Afonso Henriques’s 1147 conquest of Lisbon accomplished in combination with a passing fleet of Anglo-Norman, German and Flemish crusaders on their way by sea to Palestine and the Second Crusade. For over a quarter of a century, most commentators have accepted without demur the late Harold Livermore’s assertion that the author of the Lyxbonensi, identified in the text only as “R”, could be none other than the Anglo-Norman crusader-priest, Raul, who donated the battlefield church founded by him during the siege of Lisbon to the royal monastery of Santa Cruz de Coimbra, as recorded in a deed dated April of 1148. This article will argue that such identification must now be rejected, or at least substantially qualified, in the light of more recent scholarship and following a comprehensive consideration of the likely circumstances subsisting in Portugal around the time of Afonso Henriques’s Lisbon campaign. Examining previously over-looked complexities in the relationship between Afonso Henriques’s war on the Saracens of al-Andalus and the conduct of the “crusades” taking place both in the East and in other parts of Iberia, this article suggests an alternative and more likely authorship than that proposed by Livermore, and puts forward the case for the true purpose behind the construction of this extraordinary text, which has, until now, remained something of an enigma.

Notes on contributor

Jonathan Wilson ([email protected]) is a researcher in Hispanic Medieval History in the University of Liverpool and the Instituto de Estudos Medievais, Universidade Nova, Lisbon. His work focuses, inter alia, on Portugal’s relationship with Northern maritime crusaders, with crusading ideology, with the religious orders especially the Cistercians, and on Western Iberian literary/historiographical production during the long twelfth century. His most recent publication is “Tactics of Attraction: Saints, Pilgrims and Warriors in the Portuguese Reconquista”, Portuguese Studies vol. 30 no. 2 (2014). He is currently preparing editions and translations with attendant studies of two important manuscripts from the Cistercian Abbey of Alcobaça, the De Expugnatione Scalabis and the Gosuini De Expugnatione Salaciae Carmen, respectively recounting the conquests of Santarém in 1147 and Alcácer do Sal in 1217, for the series Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations (Peeters Publishers, Leuven).

7 Erdmann, A Ideia de Cruzada, 44–5. The assertions of Joseph F. O’Callaghan in Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain at 182–3, that Portuguese kings Afonso Henriques and Sancho I took the cross, are without foundation and should be rejected. If such an extraordinary thing had occurred, it is virtually certain to have been reported. Instead, all contemporary documentation, foreign and Portuguese, is silent on the matter; cf., inter alia, Phillips, The Second Crusade, Extending the Frontiers of Christendom (hereafter, “SCEC”) at 246–7, and 324 note 25; and Purkis, Crusading Spirituality at 171.

17 The expression “total war” is of course not free from controversy; however, as used herein, it is the definition of Trutz von Trotha that shall be preferred, and which was conveniently summarized by Thomas Rohkrämer as “a mobilization of all members of the societies involved and a dehumanization of the enemy that results in the war aim of complete annihilation or expulsion”, in Boemeke, Chickering and Forster, eds.
