Biography
Chad Leahy (PhD) is Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of Denver.
Ken Tully (MA, MDiv) is currently a graduate student at Oxford University at the Faculty of Theology and Religion and Adjunct Faculty at the Classical Studies Program, Villanova University.
‘Chad Leahy and Ken Tully have provided a new source to further Crusade, Spanish, and Franciscan historiographies ... Until recently, Crusade studies about Spain and the Franciscans rarely examined their roles in the Holy Land, and concentrated instead on the Reconquista and Mendicant preaching within Europe. Jerusalem Afflicted is a small volume but offers big opportunities to advance scholarship in several directions and better understand the Crusades’ longue durée’ – RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY, Volume LXXIV, No. 2.
‘Leahy and Tully present us with a work that is profoundly interconnected with today’s global and Mediterranean realities, with current nationalistic events in the past decade, and the Catholic nationalism that inhabits the construction of Spanish identity and ethnocentrism’ - LABERINTO 13 (2020).
