SCHIBBOLETH UM CONTEÚDO SIMBÓLICO DESCONHECIDO E AINDA RELEVANTE!

Por Mateo Simoita Os rituais maçônicos estão repletos de palavras emprestadas de histórias bíblicas. Shibboleth é um exemplo entre muitos. Gerações de maçons e maçons se imbuíram de uma interpretação, no geral bastante simplista, ao reduzi-la a uma senha que permite provar que quem a usava era de fato um companheiro. E se houvesse outro significado, muito mais consistente? Bem, sim, e é isso que vou tentar mostrar a você. Mas primeiro, vamos voltar à história bíblica: É no “Livro dos Juízes” que Shibboleth é mencionado. Em nenhum outro lugar você pode encontrá-lo. Lembre-se de que “O Livro dos Juízes” faz parte do Antigo Testamento; ele narra de forma lendária o período, por volta de 1130 aC, quando as tribos semitas eram consideradas desrespeitadoras dos mandamentos divinos. Os “juízes” eram chefes militares, heróis das batalhas com os cananeus, midianitas e filisteus. A referência a Shibboleth é mencionada no versículo 6 do capítulo 12, dedicado à história de Jefté. Jefté foi escolhido como o "juiz" dos homens de Gileade. Ele terá que enfrentar a Tribo de Efraim conforme contado no capítulo 12. 1. Os homens de Efraim se reuniram, partiram para o norte e disseram a Jefté: Por que você foi lutar contra os filhos de Amom sem nos chamar para ir com você? Queremos queimar sua casa e queimar você com ela. 2. Jefté respondeu-lhes: Temos tido grandes contendas, eu e o meu povo, com os filhos de Amom; e quando te chamei, não me livraste das mãos deles. 3. Vendo que você não viria em meu auxílio, arrisquei minha vida e fui contra os filhos de Amon. O Senhor os entregou em minhas mãos. Por que você sobe contra mim hoje para fazer guerra contra mim? 4. Jefté reuniu todos os homens de Gileade e lutou contra Efraim. Os homens de Gileade derrotaram Efraim, porque os efraimitas disseram: Vocês são fugitivos de Efraim! Gileade fica no meio de Efraim, no meio de Manassés! 5. Gileade capturou os vaus do Jordão do lado de Efraim. E quando um dos fugitivos de Efraim disse: Deixe-me passar! perguntaram-lhe os homens de Gileade: És tu efraimita? Ele respondeu: Não. 6. Eles então diriam a ele: Bem, diga Shibboleth. E ele disse Sibboleth, porque não conseguia pronunciá-lo bem. Então os homens de Gileade o agarraram e cortaram sua garganta junto aos vaus do Jordão. Quarenta e dois mil homens de Efraim morreram naquela época. Como esclarece o texto bíblico, a palavra "Sibboleth" foi usada pelos homens de Gileade por causa de sua pronúncia específica para identificar fugitivos da tribo de Efraim que foram tentados a usá-la para atravessar o rio Jordão e voltar para sua tribo. Sabendo que essas tribos eram ambas tribos judaicas, é de fato uma guerra fratricida. Na história da humanidade, essa técnica de identificar um inimigo foi usada muitas vezes, de modo que "Sibboleth" (ou shibboleth) também se tornou uma palavra comum. Vários shibboleths tornaram-se famosos, particularmente em 1282 durante as "Vésperas sicilianas" por ocasião da revolta contra o duque de Anjou, com o uso de um shibboleth siciliano, ciciri. Shibboleth e Maçonaria Parece que a referência a Schibboleth aparece em rituais maçônicos por volta da década de 1740. São rituais de 2º grau, nos quais Schibboleth se torna a senha para os irmãos, usada principalmente para garantir o posto de postulante antes de passar pela elevação ao posto de mestre. Isso diz respeito a quase todos os ritos maçônicos. Como exemplo do Rito Escocês Antigo e Aceito praticado no GODF, a palavra Schibboleth aparece no ritual de instrução do acompanhante: Pedido: Forneça-me a senha do acompanhante. Resposta: S... D.: O que significa? R.: II significa "espiga" e é representado por uma espiga de trigo junto a um riacho, alusão a um episódio relatado pela Bíblia no Livro dos Juízes (XII-5-6). Este episódio, interpretado simbolicamente, pode significar que não basta conhecer as palavras maçônicas para ser verdadeiros iniciados.

Listen  as we dive in to the experience of Chateau Challain! Our guest, Cynthia Nicholson's story is one of family and determination to restore history. The creation and development of Chateau Challain, one of the grandest private homes in the 19th century, was not an easy task, but with hard work and a talented international team of craftsman,Cynthia and her family succeeded in revitalizing this French estate home.  Together they created a breathtaking destination to host special events - like romantic weddings – while bringing back all the beauty from its midieval past. There's no doubt that their journey has been one of passion where art, architecture meets culture for visitors and locals alike! Main Topics: *The difference in destination venues and venues that are “close to home”*The journey of revitalizing and giving new life to historic properties *Intentionally prioritize business and personal life so you can give quality to both Key Takeaways: *Each wedding is a new business and you don't know what kind of rocky roads you're going to go down*Self learning is many times the avenue to success*When you drive the client experience and anticipate their needs your guests have a lifelong memorable experience More About Our Guest: The earliest recorded chateau on our site dates all the way back to the medieval age in 1050, in a time of knights and chivalry. The original castle was probably part of the ‘Les Marches de Bretagne' a series of fortresses that acted as a defensive line that protected the people of the ancient region of France known as Brittany. That chateau, and many others that followed it were destroyed in the wars, and conflicts that wracked the area in the centuries that followed. But our story truly starts with Louise-Ida de La Potherie, an exceptional woman that lived through some of France's most turbulent times. She was the last of her line, from a noble family steeped in history. Her was father a famous colonel that fought in the Spanish wars, and against the forces of revolution, her only brother was killed in a duel. Alone, in this difficult period she finally found the love of her life, Le comte de La Rochefoucauld-Bayers. They married, and sought to make a refuge for themselves in the seat of her ancestral home. Together they set about to build a sanctuary, a testament of their love, and it is this monument that we know as the ‘Chateau Challain'. Work began in 1847, they commissioned Parisian architect Louis Visconti, famed for designing the Louvre extension, to replace the original 16th century castle. The owners chose Rene Hode, a well-known Angevin architect to oversee the building project. The chateau was designed to commemorate the passing of time. Its 4 towers represent the seasons, 12 turrets represent the lunar months, 26 spiral staircases represent the fortnights per year, 52 fireplaces represent the weeks of the year, and 365 windows represent each passing day. It covers an area of 7,600 square meters (nearly 82,000 square feet). Over 700 artisans worked on the construction, and although worked progressed quickly it was far from straightforward, with the work being delayed by yet another revolution in 1848. With the work close to completion tragedy struck once more. In the early winter of 1854, and in the shadow of the nearly completed chateau Le Comte died. Heartbroken, and with two children, Louise, now Countess La Rochefoucauld-Bayers, was determined to see the project through to the end, and personally oversaw the final stages of construction. Ultimately, the chateau became one of the grandest private French homes of the 19th century. It boasts a wealth of architectural detail, including intricate woodcarvings, Gothic panelling and sculptures, large working fireplaces, and hand painted ceilings. It is situated on a beautifully manicured estate, which occupies one corner of a quaint village. Because of the property's ambiance and the design of the castle itself, Chateau Challain is often referred to as the "Neo-Gothic Jewel of Anjou" or "Le Petite Chambord.” In 2002, the Nicholson family purchased Chateau Challain and began the painstaking process of restoring the castle to its original splendour.

Tenerife contra Inglaterra

Tenerife es la mayor y la más codiciada de las islas Canarias. La isla, conquistada con grandes esfuerzos por la corona de Castilla a finales del siglo XV tras una serie de campañas dirigidas por el adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo, se convirtió pronto en un lugar de paso necesario en el comercio atlántico. Las flotas de Indias paraban en Canarias de camino a América y casi siempre hacían escala en Tenerife, que gozaba de buenos puertos naturales y en su interior se encontraba San Cristóbal de La Laguna, capital y ciudad principal del archipiélago, situada en altura y a cierta distancia de la costa para evitar ataques desde el mar. Las Canarias, como ya vimos en una ContraHistoria de hace un par de años, fueron desde el principio objetivo predilecto de corsarios británicos, holandeses y franceses que merodeaban por el océano cercano al archipiélago tratando de capturar la flota del tesoro que regresaba de América cargada de oro y plata. Estos piratas a menudo se dejaban caer por las costas canarias con intención de saquear todo lo que encontrasen a su paso. Las Canarias estaban bien defendidas por los propios canarios, que combatieron con gran valentía y arrojo los ataques piratas, pero estas expediciones no tenían ni la intención ni la capacidad de arrebatar el archipiélago a la corona española. Para eso hacía falta algo más, había que tomárselo muy en serio y organizar el asalto con gran cuidado. A eso mismo se afanó el Reino Unido entre los siglos XVII y XVIII. Las Canarias, y más concretamente Tenerife, les interesaban mucho por su ubicación geográfica y por la riqueza que ofrecían las islas grandes. El primero de estos asaltos fue el del almirante Robert Blake en 1657 que quiso capturar la flota de Indias que había buscado abrigo en Santa Cruz de Tenerife. El inglés consiguió hundir los navíos españoles, pero ya se había descargado la plata proveniente de América por lo que tuvo que volver con las manos vacías. Medio siglo más tarde, en 1706, durante la guerra de sucesión española, trece navíos al mando de John Jennings se dirigieron a Tenerife con intención de hacerse con ella. Trataron de desembarcar, pero las baterías costeras dispararon, por lo que se vieron obligados a cambiar de táctica. Informaron a los tinerfeños de que Felipe de Anjou había perdido la guerra en la península y que, por lo tanto, debían jurar lealtad al archiduque Carlos de Habsburgo. El corregidor de Tenerife, José de Ayala, se negó enviando un mensaje a Jennings que decía que “si Felipe, nuestro rey, lo hubiera perdido todo en la Península, estas islas le seguirían siendo fieles”. Jennings, cuya escuadra era de pequeño tamaño, decidió no volver a intentarlo y regresó a Europa. El asalto final sobre Tenerife se produjo un siglo más tarde, en julio de 1797, el día de Santiago exactamente. Aprovechando el bloqueo que la armada británica había impuesto a las costas peninsulares, el almirante Horatio Nelson navegó hasta Tenerife para apoderarse de la isla al mando de una gran flota. Al ser avistada por las defensas costeras el general Antonio Gutiérrez de Otero organizó la defensa de la isla. Los ingleses desembarcaron en Santa Cruz, pero fueron rechazados tras un heroico combate por las calles de la ciudad. El propio Nelson perdió el brazo derecho cuando se abría camino en una barca de desembarco para dirigir las operaciones. El fracaso inglés fue absoluto, tras perder un barco y a centenares de hombres tuvieron que rendirse y volver por donde habían venido. Desde entonces la ciudad de Santa Cruz de Tenerife se precia de haber derrotado tres veces a Inglaterra, por eso en su escudo junto a la cruz de Santiago figuran tres cabezas de león en recuerdo de los tres almirantes británicos (Blake, Jennings y Nelson) que intentaron en balde conquistar la ciudad. Pues bien, para hablar sobre estos tres asaltos nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria un viejo amigo del programa, Carlos Pérez Simancas, que es canario y que conoce bien estas tres historias.

Le beurre blanc n'est pas à proprement parlé du beurre, enfin, si mais non. Inutile d'essayer de le tartiner. Ce n'est pas non plus une sorte de crème au beurre ni même un beurre aromatisé comme le beurre maître d'hôtel qui ne contient pas d'ail. Le beurre blanc est une sauce émulsionnée qui tient plus de la béarnaise ou de la sauce mousseline que du demi sel à tartiner. On commence à être coutumier, mais savez vous que selon la légende,  le beurre Blanc a été fabriqué pour la première fois par erreur ? Ce serait à l'origine une béarnaise ratée dans un restaurant de poissons de la région nantaise de la fin du XIXe siècle. Je ne sais vraiment pas d'où vient ce fantasme de l'erreur à l'origine des découvertes culinaires. Car un peu de recherches et on retrouve des traces historiques de cette recette dès le 17ème siècle. Il existe même une rivalité entre Anjou et Nantes pour l'exactitude de la recette. A Nantes, on termine au beurre, à Anjou, à la crème. Donnant deux résultats, certes goûtus, excellents avec le poisson mais très différents en bouche. C'est pour ça que beaucoup vont préférer les termes beurre nantais et beurre angevin pour différencier les recettes. Et nous qui pensions que les Italiens avaient le monopole des discussions à base d'ajout de crême… Mais, parlant de recette, quelle est la recette ? Le beurre blanc donc est une sauce chaude émulsionnée au beurre. Le principe de base est de chauffer une infusion de vinaigre ou de vin, poivre et échalotes. On appelle ça une gastrique et suivant comment on prépare sa gastrique, nous allons avoir telle ou telle sauce. La béarnaise par exemple, c'est à la base une gastrique de vinaire poivre échalottes et estragon. La gastrique du beurre blanc est vin blanc, échalotte et poivre. On jette le tout dans une sauteuse et on fait réduire. Une fois réduit, on jette des carrés de beurre demi-sel et on fouette sans arrêt sans couper le feu. Le gras du beurre et l'eau vont sous l'action du fouettage et de la chaleur se lier entre eux. S'émulsionner.  Et vous aurez cette belle masse blanche au goût acide gras qui accompagnera poissons et légumes à merveille. Et là, deux écoles, ceux qui laissent les échalotes et ceux qui filtrent la sauce pour s'en débarrasser.  Pour moi c'est un faux débat, chacun fait fait fait ce qu'il lui plait plait plait. Un peu comme le poivre, certains en mettent, d'autres pas. Vous pouvez ajouter un peu d'eau froide juste avant le fouettage du beurre pour vous aider car l'émulsion chaude, c'est de la cascade, entrainez vous avant car c'est un peu traître mais quelle satisfaction.

For Joan, who had a reputation as a businesswoman intent on monetary success, this was a significant conversion. Born in 1666, in Anjou, France, Joan worked in the family business—a small shop near a religious shrine—from an early age. After her parents' death she took over the shop. She quickly became known for her greediness and insensitivity to the beggars who often came seeking help. That was until she was touched by the strange woman who claimed she was on intimate terms with the deity. Joan, who had always been devout, even scrupulous, became a new person. She began caring for needy children. Then the poor, elderly, and sick came to her. Over time, she closed the family business so she could devote herself fully to good works and penance. She went on to found what came to be known as the Congregation of Saint Anne of Providence. It was then she took the religious name of Joan of the Cross. By the time of her death in 1736 she had founded 12 religious houses, hospices, and schools. Pope John Paul II canonized her in 1982. Reflection The downtown areas of most major cities hold a population of “street people.” Well-dressed folks usually avoid making eye contact, probably for fear of being asked for a handout. That was Joan's attitude until the day one of them touched her heart. Most people thought the old woman was crazy, but she put Joan on the road to sainthood. Who knows what the next beggar we meet might do for us? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

King Philip the Amorous got his name for following his heart rather than his head, which of course got him into big trouble with the church. The chronicler monks (often from rival principalities) got carte-blanche to drag him through the mud more ruthlessly than Regina George could have dreamed of (Mean GIrls is required viewing for this podcast, by the way). But there was no stopping Philip, who kept France chugging along, out of the turmoil of the Dark Ages and towards brand new dangers: the Norman Conquest of England, the First Crusade and the ever-present threat of the Pope's righteous wrath.Visit our Wordpress for episode images, score summaries, contact details and more!

A Strangely Isolated Place

Play Episode Listen Later May 1, 2022


Our latest isolatedmix comes from Mark Nelson, who as Pan•American, or as part of Labradford or even Anjou, has garnered relative cult status amongst the ambient and experimental lifers and tape community. Forming a big part of the Kranky label history from its very first release, Mark recently returned with a new album after a three-year hiatus, and the mature, refined instrumentalism on The Patience Fader is a subtle reminder of the quality Mark has retained over the years - quite an achievement, given his first Pan•American record on Kranky goes back to 1997. I took the chance to send over some questions to Mark to shed some light on the new record and the music that exists in his life right now, alongside his tasteful and electic isolatedmix. The Patience Fader by Pan•AmericanHi Mark, where are you right now and what have you been listening to lately? I'm at home in Evanston IL-just north of Chicago. Drinking coffee after work and listening to the water running through the filter of our pet turtle's tank and the music of Mette Henriette. If you're not familiar with her she's a Norwegian composer and saxophone player who put out a record on ECM a couple of years ago it's so beautiful-one of those records I only let me listen to occasionally because I don't want to become too familiar with it. worried the magic might lessen-but magic never really does. Last few days I've been listening to lots of the music that made it onto the mix-Mike Cooper, African Head Charge, Ulla, my friend Robert Donne's incredible track Touch my Camera Through the Fence, Takagi Masakatsu. The most recent music that I've really liked are the 3 cd comp by Fubutsushi on Cached Media and my friend Francis Harris' beautiful new record Thresholds that I was lucky enough to contribute to. Running a label myself, and given you had the honor of being the very first release on Kranky, with Labradford, I'm interested in the details of how that very first album and relationship came about? It's hard to believe but back then you could put out a 7" single-maybe 300 copies-and be pretty confident all the key distributors, zines, record store buyers and radio stations would find out about it and boost it up if they liked it. Joel and Bruce worked at Cargo-an independent distributor based in Chicago. Our single came across Joel's desk and he felt good enough about it to set in motion the plan he'd been forming to start a label. I remember my friend Andrew who put the single out told me a guy from Cargo was going to call me and I stayed close to the (landline) phone for the next couple days. Joel called, we talked and the rest has unfolded very naturally. A blend of luck and trying to manifest something in the world around the music. “Romantic minimalism” is used in the text for your new album The Patience Fader, and it's an apt term for the delicate, perhaps even more ‘focused' approach on this one. Do you think there is a clear connection between the effects of the past year and the type of music it inspires? Was that the case here? Yes-absolutely in my case. Both from within and without. Not consciously of course, but Patience Fader was made during the summer and fall of 2020, so Covid, Trumpism, BLM/George Floyd protests were all in full flight. At the same time, my father was dying in a hospice in Virginia that we couldn't visit because of Covid. In some respects, emotions were very simple for me in this time. Right and wrong, life and death joy and sorrow seemed very plainly mapped out. The album features some smaller ‘vignette' type tracks, which I personally love. What was your intention behind these as part of the greater album flow? Is there a hidden narrative? Not a narrative really, no. I would say there's a theme of Roots throughout the record and trying to find different ways to approach what roots and being grounded can mean. So guitar and harmonica as the instruments used speak literally to the basic grounding of American music. The field recording of a summer afternoon and slamming screen door on Baitshop is evocative to me of childhood. There's even a song called Grounded. We were all literally grounded by Covid and I was searching for a sense of Grounding amidst the unraveling. It seems like you come from the ‘instrumental first' school of ambient music (as I sometimes like to put it), integrating your instruments as source material, especially on your latest. What does the process for creating a PA album usually look like? It tends to come out of the daily practice of playing. I like practicing and trying to be "better" as a guitar player. Sometimes it can even feel like if I get an idea I need to dig into, it interrupts just simple, repetitive practice that in some ways I enjoy more. I think I've gotten pretty good at recognizing when an idea needs to be followed through and I do feel like I have an obligation to not let it go. Although in the end, most don't make it. Eventually, I tend to establish something that feels like the first song for an album and the last song, and that's when I know that something new is really emerging. The Lapsteel / Pedal steel was perhaps brought to ‘ambient fame' by the KLF's Chill Out, especially to those who run in more general ‘ambient' music terms. And I definitely get a similar vibe to that album with The Patience Fader. …“the ghost of rust belts and dust bowls looming in a horizon of deepening dusk.” as the press text puts it. As a foreigner in the US, I've always wondered about this romanticism and never really experienced it outside of trips to the desert here in the west. How does this come to life for you personally? Is it something you seek out? I'm a big fan of Chill Out-but I think Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois got there first on Apollo! Also, the Paris Texas soundtrack and Ry Cooder's slide playing cemented some of those connections that I guess now verge on cliche. Funny enough I'm a bit of an outsider here as well-my Father was a US diplomat and I didn't live in the US until I was a teenager. I've always looked for a way in I guess, and music-rock n roll, country, blues, jazz seemed like a kind of skeleton key. A key to a series of doors that open and close constantly and I seem to remain disoriented. I certainly returned to these roots (literal and figurative) in music for an explanation or comfort as Trump set fire to whatever remained of the Better Angels of what (for some reason) is referred to as the American Experiment. Mixed results. You speak of the notion of “lighthouse music,” radiance cast from a stable vantage point, sending “a signal to help others through rocks and dangerous currents.” My perception and ‘unromanticizing' of this after listening to the album, is that you have tried to create very clear, and comforting music, something that will cut through easier and not need too much thought for it to work. I love this overall sentiment - could you expand upon it in your own words? It's an effort to be uncluttered and go straight for the heart. The beauty in country music is the same effort or effect. It's ok if it's a formula to an extent that's comforting! The songs on my record share a very similar structure and palette to one another-I really wanted to create a world that would be very quickly recognized-meaning the boundaries would be clear right away-and the work could be done within those boundaries. There's certainly much to recommend pushing beyond known boundaries and limits-for me though it's where known elements within a world blur, overlap, merge, surrender and change like water that's what I'm interested in! New possibilities come from new combinations, and new layering of familiar material. Hybrid forms, mutations. I think what we're looking for is here-it's just up to us to make it visible.~ astrangelyisolatedplace · isolatedmix 118 - Pan•AmericanListen on Soundcloud, Mixcloud, or the ASIP Podcast.DownloadTracklist:01.

La Historia de la Iglesia Cristiana

Este episodio 56 de CS es la tercera parte de nuestra serie sobre Las Cruzadas.Uno de los principales resultados de la Primera Cruzada fue un mayor distanciamiento entre las Iglesias de Oriente y Occidente. La ayuda prestada a Bizancio por los cruzados no fue la que esperaba el emperador oriental Alejo.También dio lugar a una alienación de los musulmanes aún mayor que la que existía antes. 200 años de cruzadas por el Mediterráneo oriental envenenaron permanentemente las relaciones entre musulmanes y cristianos y acabaron con el espíritu de tolerancia moderada hacia los cristianos que vivían bajo el dominio musulmán en una amplia franja de territorio. Los únicos que dieron la bienvenida a los cruzados fueron un puñado de minorías cristianas que habían sufrido bajo el dominio bizantino y musulmán: los armenios y los maronitas que vivían en el Líbano. Los coptos de Egipto vieron las Cruzadas como una calamidad. Ahora los musulmanes sospechaban que tenían simpatías occidentales, mientras que la Iglesia de Occidente los trataba como cismáticos. Una vez que los cruzados tomaron Jerusalén, prohibieron a los coptos peregrinar allí.Las cosas se agriaron realmente entre Oriente y Occidente cuando la Iglesia romana instaló patriarcados latinos en los centros históricamente orientales de Antioquía y Jerusalén. Luego, durante la 4ª Cruzada, se nombró un patriarca latino para la iglesia en la propia Constantinopla.Para que te hagas una idea de lo que habría sentido el cristiano de Constantinopla, imagina cómo se sentirían los bautistas del Sur si un obispo mormón fuera nombrado presidente de la Convención Bautista del Sur. Ya te haces una idea = No Bueno.Otro efecto duradero de las Cruzadas fue que debilitaron el Imperio Bizantino y aceleraron su caída ante los turcos otomanos un par de siglos después. También desestabilizaron a los gobiernos árabes, dejándolos susceptibles de ser invadidos por turcos y mongoles.En esta época se produjo un nuevo e importante desarrollo en la historia monástica con el surgimiento de las órdenes monásticas de caballería. La primera de ellas fue la de los Caballeros Templarios, fundada en 1118 bajo Hugh de Payens. El rey Balduino dio a los templarios su nombre, y de ellos pasó a otras órdenes la idea de luchar por el Temple. Bernardo de Claraval, aunque no fue el autor de la regla de los Templarios, como dice la leyenda, sí escribió una influyente obra titulada Elogio de la nueva milicia de Cristo, que alababa las nuevas órdenes de caballeros.Los Templarios fueron imitados por los Hospitalarios, que tuvieron un origen anterior como orden caritativa. Fueron organizados en 1050 por mercaderes de Amalfi que vivían en Jerusalén para proteger a los peregrinos. Proporcionaban hospitalidad y atención a los enfermos, y contribuyeron a transformar la palabra "hospitalidad" en "hospital". Con Gerardo, en 1120, los Hospitalarios obtuvieron la sanción papal. El sucesor de Gerardo fue Raimundo de Provenza, que reorganizó a los Hospitalarios como una orden militar según el modelo de los Caballeros Templarios. Los Hospitalarios, también conocidos como Caballeros de San Juan, se trasladaron finalmente a las islas de Rodas y luego a Malta, donde resistieron en 1565 en un prolongado asedio contra los turcos en una de las batallas más importantes de la historia.Otra importante orden militar, los Caballeros Teutónicos, surgió en 1199, durante la 3ª Cruzada.Las órdenes monásticas caballerescas tenían ciertos rasgos en común. Consideraban la guerra como una forma de vida devocional. La antigua idea monástica de luchar contra los demonios, como se veía en los antiguos ermitaños del desierto egipcio, evolucionó hacia el combate real con personas consideradas agentes del mal. La guerra espiritual se convirtió en una batalla real. Los caballeros y sus ayudantes hicieron votos similares a los de otros monjes. Profesaban pobreza, castidad y obediencia, junto con la promesa de defender a otros por la fuerza de las armas. Aunque se juraba la pobreza personal, se consideraba adecuado el uso de la violencia para asegurar la riqueza, de modo que pudiera utilizarse en beneficio de otros, incluida la propia orden. Los templarios se convirtieron en objeto de envidia por su inmensa riqueza.Al estudiar las relaciones entre el cristianismo y el islam durante la Edad Media, debemos recordar que hubo muchos intercambios pacíficos. Algunos cristianos defendían las misiones pacíficas con los musulmanes. Estos encuentros pacíficos pueden verse en el intercambio de arte. Los cristianos valoraban mucho la metalistería y los tejidos musulmanes. Los ornamentos de las iglesias eran a menudo confeccionados por tejedores musulmanes. Una de estas vestimentas se encuentra hoy en Canterbury. Contiene una escritura árabe que dice: "Grande es Alá y Mahoma es su profeta".Desde el punto de vista positivo, si hubo algo positivo que extraer de las Cruzadas, fue que promovieron un mayor sentido de unidad en Europa Occidental. Recuerda que una de las razones por las que el Papa Urbano desencadenó la Cruzada fue para desahogar los hábitos violentos de los nobles europeos, que se enfrentaban constantemente entre sí. En lugar de guerrear entre ellos de un lado a otro de Europa, regando sus campos de sangre, se unieron para ir contra los infieles "de allá".Las Cruzadas también supusieron un aumento del prestigio del papado, ya que pudieron movilizar a un gran número de personas.  Las Cruzadas también estimularon un renacimiento intelectual en Europa, ya que los cruzados regresaron con nuevas experiencias y conocimientos de otra parte del mundo.Tras la 1ª Cruzada, durante los siguientes 60 años, Jerusalén vio una sucesión de gobernantes débiles, mientras que los musulmanes, desde Damasco hasta Egipto, se unieron bajo una nueva dinastía de líderes competentes y carismáticos. El último de ellos fue Saladino o, más propiamente, Salah ad-Din. Fundador de la dinastía ayubí del Islam, se convirtió en califa en 1174 y se propuso retomar Jerusalén.El rey de Jerusalén en aquella época era (y aviso: voy a destrozar el nombre de este pobre hombre) Guy de Lusignan. Llamémosle simplemente "Guy". Dirigió a los cruzados a una colina al oeste del mar de Galilea llamada los Cuernos de Hattin. Tanto los Templarios como los Hospitalarios se encontraban allí con fuerza, y la tan cacareada "verdadera cruz" era llevada por el obispo de Acre, que a su vez iba vestido con armadura. El 5 de julio de 1187 se libró la batalla decisiva. Los cruzados fueron completamente derrotados. Perecieron 30.000 personas. El rey Guy, los líderes de los templarios y los hospitalarios, junto con algunos otros nobles, fueron hechos prisioneros. Saladino les dio clemencia. El destino de Tierra Santa estaba decidido.El 2 de octubre de 1187, Saladino entró en Jerusalén después de que ésta opusiera una valiente resistencia. Las generosas condiciones de la rendición fueron, en su mayoría, dignas de la caballerosidad del comandante musulmán. No hubo escenas de carnicería salvaje como las que siguieron a la entrada de los cruzados 90 años antes. A los habitantes de Jerusalén se les dio la libertad si pagaban un rescate. A los europeos y a todo aquel que lo deseara, se les permitió salir. Durante 40 días continuó la procesión de la partida. Las reliquias almacenadas en la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro fueron rescatadas por la suma de 50.000 bezantes. Llamados así por Bizancio, donde eran el medio de cambio, el bezante era una moneda de oro de 5 gramos.Así terminó el reino latino de Jerusalén. Desde entonces, el culto del Islam ha continuado en el Monte Moría sin interrupción. Las demás conquistas europeas de la 1ª Cruzada estaban entonces en peligro por las interminables disputas de los propios cruzados y, a pesar del constante flujo de reclutas y tesoros procedentes de Europa, cayeron fácilmente ante Saladino.Permitió que un gobernante latino meramente ceremonial ostentara el título de rey de Jerusalén, pero el último rey real fue Guy, que fue liberado y luego viajó reclamando el título de rey, pero sin corte ni capital. Finalmente se estableció en Chipre.Entraremos en menos detalles sobre el resto de las Cruzadas cuando las terminemos en el próximo episodio.La 2ª Cruzada fue provocada por 2 acontecimientos: la caída del estado cruzado de Edesa en Siria y la predicación de Bernardo de Claraval. Y ten en cuenta que la 2ª Cruzada tuvo lugar ANTES de la llegada de Saladino a la escena.Edesa cayó en manos de los turcos en diciembre de 1144.  Hicieron un fuego en una gran brecha que habían abierto en la muralla de la ciudad. El fuego estaba tan caliente que agrietó una sección de la muralla de cien metros de largo. Cuando la muralla se derrumbó, los turcos se abalanzaron sobre ella y desencadenaron el mismo tipo de brutalidad que los cruzados cuando conquistaron Jerusalén.El Papa Eugenio III vio la victoria turca en Edesa como una amenaza para la continuidad de los cruzados en Palestina y pidió al rey de Francia que marchara en su ayuda. Se prometió el perdón de todos los pecados y la entrada inmediata en el cielo a todos los que se embarcaran en una nueva Cruzada. Eugenio convocó a Bernardo de Claraval para que abandonara su abadía y predicara la cruzada. Bernardo era la persona más famosa de su tiempo y esta llamada del Papa se produjo en el cenit de su fama. Consideró la llamada del Papa como una llamada de Dios.En la Pascua de 1146, el rey Luis de Francia juró liderar la Cruzada. La promesa del Papa de la remisión de los pecados le era muy querida, ya que estaba afectado por la culpa de haber quemado una iglesia con 1300 personas dentro. ¡Qué grandioso es poder obtener el perdón matando a más personas! Reunió un concilio en Vézelai, en el que Bernardo causó una impresión tan poderosa con su mensaje que todos los presentes se lanzaron a la causa de las cruzadas. Bernardo se vio obligado a cortar su propia túnica en pequeños fragmentos, para regalarlos a todos los que quisieran algo suyo que pudieran llevar a Oriente. Escribió al Papa Eugenio que el entusiasmo era tan grande que "los castillos y las ciudades se vaciaron de sus habitantes. Apenas se podía encontrar un hombre para 7 mujeres, y las mujeres enviudaban en todas partes mientras sus maridos aún vivían". Es decir, la mayoría de los hombres partieron a la Cruzada, dejando a la población de Francia con 7 mujeres por cada hombre. ¡Qué suerte tuvieron!Desde Francia, Bernardo se dirigió a Basilea, en la actual Suiza, y luego subió por las ciudades a lo largo del Rin hasta llegar a Colonia. Al igual que en la 1ª Cruzada, la persecución contra los judíos estalló en esta zona cuando un monje llamado Radulph se preguntó por qué era necesario ir a Oriente Medio para deshacerse de los que odian a Dios y matan a Cristo. Había muchos en Europa.  Bernardo se opuso con vehemencia. Pidió que la Iglesia intentara ganarse a los judíos mediante la discusión y el respeto, no matándolos.Bernardo era LA celebridad de la época y miles de personas acudían a escucharle. Se le atribuyeron varios milagros y curaciones notables. El emperador alemán Konrad III se sintió profundamente conmovido por su predicación y se convenció de que debía apoyar la Cruzada.Konrad reunió un ejército de 70.000 personas, de las cuales una décima parte eran caballeros. Se reunieron en Ratisbona y se dirigieron a través de Hungría hacia el Bósforo. A lo largo de su ruta no fueron bien recibidos. Konrad y el emperador oriental Manuel eran cuñados, pero eso no impidió que Manuel hiciera todo lo posible por acabar con la fuerza alemana. Los guías que les proporcionó condujeron a los alemanes a emboscadas y trampas y luego los abandonaron en las montañas. Cuando finalmente llegaron a Nicea, el hambre, la fiebre y los ataques habían reducido la fuerza a una décima parte de su tamaño original.El rey Luis partió en la primavera de 1147 y siguió la misma ruta que había seguido Konrad. Su reina, Leonor, famosa por su belleza y habilidad como líder, junto con muchas otras damas de la corte francesa, acompañó al ejército. Los franceses se reunieron con lo que quedaba de la fuerza de Konrad en Nicea.Las fuerzas se dividieron entonces en diferentes grupos que llegaron a Acre en 1148. Se reunieron con el rey Balduino III de Jerusalén y se comprometieron a unir sus fuerzas para intentar conquistar Damasco antes de retomar Edesa. El asedio a Damasco fue un fracaso total. Los nobles europeos cayeron en tales luchas internas que su bando se fragmentó en grupos beligerantes. Konrad partió hacia Alemania en el otoño de 1148 y Luis regresó a Francia unos meses después.Bernardo se sintió humillado por el fracaso de la Cruzada. Lo atribuyó al juicio de Dios por los pecados de los cruzados y del mundo cristiano.Un poco más sobre la esposa del rey Luis, Leonor. Leonor de Aquitania era realmente extraordinaria. En un mundo dominado por los hombres, la carrera de Leonor fue algo especial. Fue una de las personas más ricas y poderosas de Europa durante la Edad Media.Leonor sucedió a su padre como gobernante de Aquitania y Poitiers a la edad de 15 años. Era entonces la novia más codiciada de Europa. Tres meses después de su ascenso, se casó con el rey Luis VII. Como reina de Francia, participó en la 2ª Cruzada. Después, con su derrota y de vuelta a Francia, consiguió la anulación de Luis sobre la base de que eran parientes, y luego se casó con Enrique Plantaget, duque de Normandía y conde de Anjou, que pronto se convirtió en el rey Enrique II de Inglaterra en 1154. Esto a pesar de que Enrique era un pariente aún más cercano que Luis y 9 años más joven que ella. Se casaron sólo 8 semanas después de su anulación. Durante los 13 años siguientes, Leonor dio a Enrique 8 hijos: 5 hijos, 3 de los cuales llegarían a ser reyes, y 3 hijas. Sin embargo, Enrique y Leonor acabaron distanciándose. Ella fue encarcelada entre 1173 y 1189 por apoyar la revuelta de su hijo contra su marido.Leonor enviudó en julio de 1189. A su marido le sucedió su hijo, Ricardo I, conocido como Corazón de León. En cuanto ascendió al trono, Ricardo hizo que liberaran a su madre de la prisión. Leonor, ahora reina viuda, actuó como regente mientras Ricardo iba a la Tercera Cruzada. Sobrevivió a Ricardo y vivió hasta el reinado de su hijo menor, Juan, conocido como el peor rey de la larga historia de Inglaterra. Es este rey Juan el que aparece como el principal villano en la historia de Robin Hood.La 3ª Cruzada se conoce como la Cruzada de los Reyes debido a los monarcas europeos que participaron en ella. Fue un intento de reconquistar Tierra Santa a los musulmanes que, bajo Saladino, habían recuperado las tierras que los cruzados tomaron en la 1ª Cruzada. La 3ª tuvo éxito en su mayor parte, pero no alcanzó su objetivo final, la reconquista de Jerusalén.Cuando Saladino capturó Jerusalén en 1187, la noticia sacudió a Europa. Se cuenta que el Papa Urbano III quedó tan traumatizado que murió de shock. Enrique II de Inglaterra y Felipe II de Francia pusieron fin a su disputa entre ellos para dirigir una nueva cruzada. Cuando Enrique murió 2 años después, Ricardo Corazón de León se puso al frente de los ingleses. El anciano emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, Federico Barbarroja, también respondió a la llamada a las armas y dirigió un enorme ejército a través de Turquía. Barbarroja se ahogó mientras cruzaba un río en junio de 1190, antes de llegar a Tierra Santa. Su muerte causó un gran dolor entre los cruzados alemanes. La mayoría estaban tan desanimados que volvieron a casa.Tras expulsar a los musulmanes del puerto de Acre, el sucesor de Federico, Leopoldo V de Austria, y el rey Felipe de Francia abandonaron Tierra Santa en agosto de 1191, dejando a Ricardo para que siguiera solo. Saladino no consiguió derrotar a Ricardo en ningún enfrentamiento militar, y éste se aseguró varias ciudades costeras clave. Pero el rey inglés se dio cuenta de que la conquista de Jerusalén no era posible para sus ahora debilitadas fuerzas y, en septiembre de 1192, hizo un tratado con Saladino por el que Jerusalén permanecería bajo control musulmán, pero permitía a los peregrinos y mercaderes cristianos desarmados visitar la ciudad. Ricardo partió de Tierra Santa un mes después.Los éxitos de la 3ª Cruzada permitieron a los cruzados mantener un reino considerable basado en Chipre y a lo largo de la costa siria. Su fracaso en la reconquista de Jerusalén condujo a la convocatoria de una 4ª Cruzada 6 años después.La 3ª Cruzada fue una prueba más de la incapacidad de los europeos para formar una unión eficaz contra los musulmanes. Los líderes y la nobleza de Europa hicieron grandes promesas de unidad cuando se embarcaron en una Cruzada, pero los rigores del viaje, junto con la inminente perspectiva de la victoria, les hicieron caer la mayoría de las veces en incesantes y mezquinas disputas.En su viaje de regreso a Inglaterra, Ricardo fue apresado por el mencionado Leopoldo, duque de Austria, cuya enemistad se había ganado en la batalla por la ciudad de Jope. El duque entregó a su cautivo al emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, Enrique VI, que también tenía un rencor que saldar. Corazón de León fue liberado bajo las humillantes condiciones de pagar un enorme rescate y consentir que su reino fuera un feudo del Imperio.  Esta toma de rehenes de Ricardo Corazón de León es el telón de fondo de la historia de Robin Hood.Saladino murió en marzo de 1193, siendo con mucho el más famoso de los enemigos de los cruzados. La cristiandad se ha unido a los escritores árabes en la alabanza de su valor, su cultura y la forma magnánima en que trató a sus enemigos.Los historiadores debaten sobre cuántas Cruzadas hubo. No es que los reyes Enrique y Felipe dijeran: "Oye, hagamos las paces y lancemos la 3ª Cruzada". No las numeraron como lo han hecho los historiadores desde entonces. La historia tiende a atribuir 9 como número de Cruzadas, pero luego añade 2 más asignándoles nombres en lugar de números; la Cruzada Albigense y la Cruzada de los Niños, que tuvieron lugar entre la 4ª y la 5ª Cruzada.En general, las Cruzadas 5ª a 9ª se consideran movimientos armados menores, mientras que las 4 primeras se denominan Grandes Cruzadas.Terminaremos con un rápido repaso de la 4ª Cruzada.Inocencio III se convirtió en Papa en 1198.  Convocó la 4ª Cruzada, que fue el golpe final que separó para siempre las iglesias de Occidente y Oriente, aunque ciertamente ése nunca fue su objetivo. De hecho, advirtió a los cruzados que no lo hicieran.El plan del Papa Inocencio era simplemente destruir una base militar musulmana en Egipto. Los mercaderes de Venecia habían prometido suministrar barcos a los cruzados con un gran descuento, que los cruzados no podían dejar pasar. Así que, en el verano de 1202, llegaron a Venecia esperando navegar hacia Egipto. Pero había un problema: sólo se presentó un tercio del número esperado de guerreros. Y llegaron con poco más de la mitad de la cuota de navegación requerida.Un príncipe de Oriente se ofreció a financiar el resto con una condición: Que los cruzados navegaran primero a Constantinopla, destronaran al actual emperador y se la entregaran. Entonces podrían seguir su alegre camino hacia Egipto. El Papa Inocencio prohibió esta diversión, pero nadie le hizo caso.El 5 de julio de 1203, los cruzados llegaron a la capital oriental. El pueblo de Constantinopla estaba ya harto de que los europeos se entrometieran en sus asuntos y formó una contrarrevolución que barrió del trono al emperador de turno, pero sólo para poder instalar a su propio gobernante ferozmente anticruzado. Al verse excluido de sus esperanzas, el aspirante a emperador que había pagado a los cruzados el camino a Constantinopla se negó a pagarles el camino a Egipto, dejándoles abandonados en un territorio cada vez más hostil.Estaban furiosos. Sus líderes decidieron intentar sacar lo mejor de la situación y convocaron un rápido saqueo de Constantinopla. Uno de los capellanes de la Cruzada proclamó, haciendo caso omiso de los deseos del Papa: "Si tenéis la intención de conquistar esta tierra y someterla a la obediencia romana, todos los que mueran participarán de la indulgencia del Papa".  Eso fue como soltar la cadena a un perro rabioso. Para muchos de los cruzados, esto no sólo era una excusa para enriquecerse con el botín, sino que significaba una licencia para hacer lo que quisieran en Constantinopla.El Viernes Santo de 1204, los cruzados, con cruces rojas en sus túnicas, saquearon Constantinopla. Durante 3 días, violaron y mataron a compañeros cristianos. Las estatuas de la ciudad fueron descuartizadas y fundidas. La Santa Sofía fue despojada de sus vasos de oro. Una ramera realizó bailes sensuales en la Mesa del Señor, entonando viles canciones para beber. Un escritor oriental se lamentó: "Los musulmanes son misericordiosos comparados con estos hombres que llevan la cruz de Cristo sobre sus hombros".Ni el Imperio ni la Iglesia de Oriente se recuperaron jamás de aquellos 3 días. Durante los siguientes 60 años, los cruzados de la Iglesia romana gobernaron lo que antes era el Imperio de Oriente. El emperador oriental estableció una corte en el exilio en Nicea. En lugar de adoptar las costumbres romanas, muchos cristianos orientales huyeron allí. Allí permanecieron hasta 1261, cuando un gobernante Oriental retomó Constantinopla.
