Abstract:In this essay I demonstrate that the Itinerarium Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis Ricardi, a chronicle of the Third Crusade completed in the first quarter of the thirteenth century, blames the sins of the Latin settlers of Outremer for Saladin’s conquest of most of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. I argue that the work locates the origin of these sins among neighboring peoples such as Muslim Arabs and Orthodox Christian Greeks, and that it recasts the Near East as a wellspring of moral turpitude that fatefully affects even those who come to its aid. Finally, I claim that this dynamic of sin serves to exculpate Richard I of England for the failure of the Crusade.

“那个被遗弃的地方的圣洁”：《百日草》和《瑞吉卡·里加德》中罪的目的

摘要：在本文中，我证明了《十三世纪十字军》的编年史《 Itinerarium Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis Ricardi》将萨拉丁在征服萨丁王国的大部分时间归咎于奥特雷默拉丁定居者的罪过耶路撒冷。我认为这部作品将这些罪恶的根源定位在穆斯林阿拉伯人和东正教希腊人等邻国之间，并重铸了近东，将其视为道德败坏的源泉，甚至对那些寻求援助的人产生了致命的影响。最后，我声称这种犯罪的动力可以使十字军东征的失败屈服于英格兰的理查德一世。
