Focusing on the life of Fulk V, count of Anjou and king of Latin Jerusalem, his current book project explores how the early crusading phenomenon transformed the exercise and understanding of power and authority across the Mediterranean during the earlier twelfth century. He also holds professional interests in the history of science, the environment, and Muslim-Christian-Jewish relations from Antiquity through the early modern period.
