Baldwin I of Jerusalem, 1100-1118

About Susan Edgington

Susan B. Edgington is a teaching and research fellow at Queen Mary University of London. She has written extensively on many aspects of the crusades but it is her close familiarity with the Latin sources for the period in question 1095-1118 that uniquely qualifies her to write this biography. She is the editor and translator of Albert of Aachens Historia Ierosolimitana (Oxford 2007); translator (with Thomas S. Asbridge) of Walter the Chancellors The Antiochene Wars (Aldershot 1999); (with Carol Sweetenham) of The Chanson dAntioche (Farnham 2011); and (with Steven Biddlecombe) of Badric of Bourgueils History of the Jerusalemites (Woodbridge forthcoming). Her critical comparison of the relationship of Bartolf of Nangis Gesta Francorum Iherusalem expugnantium with the chronicle of Fulcher of Chartres (Crusades 13 2014) will lead to a new edition and translation of this important source.
