As demonstrated by Henri Pirenne in Mohammed and Charlemagne, Europe’s collapse into a so-called “Dark Ages” was largely attributable to the Muslim conquest of the Mediterranean, which choked Europe’s access to international markets. After Charlemagne’s death, his precarious empire fragmented under the attack of the Vikings and Magyars. In its wake, the peasantry were subjected to a system of feudalism solidified, particularly in France and the Low Countries. In the countryside, private castles were erected by local seigneurs without imperial permission to fend off barbarian attacks. Small trading centers grew around the castles, and eventually served as sites for periodic fairs. By the end of the eleventh century, Western Europe was gaining greater economic integration. This internal explosion of urbanization provided the financial strength that emboldened the West to undertake the Crusades in an attempt to retake the Holy Land from the Muslims.[1]

The Crusades were a number of attempts to recapture the Holy Land, which had fallen to Islamic expansion as early as the seventh century. The First Crusade (1095 – 1099) was called for at the Council of Clermont on November 27, 1095, by Pope Urban II (c. 1035 – 1099), a former monk of the influential Abbey of Cluny, who called for a military expedition to aid the Byzantine Empire, which had recently lost most of Anatolia to the Seljuq Turks. Clermont was some 200 miles from Troyes, in the influential County of Champagne, town of Rashi de Troyes (1040 – 1105), the greatest alumnus of the Kalonymus academy in Mainz, and was reputedly descended from the royal line of King David.[2] Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, known as Rashi, was the leading Jewish figure who dominated the second half of the eleventh century, as well as the whole rabbinical history of France. He was descended from the Makhir-Kalonynus line through his mother, whose brother was Simeon the Great, Rabbi of Mainz.[3] His teachers were students of his relative, Gershom ben Judah. Rashi was the author of complete commentaries on the Bible and on the Babylonian Talmud, and famously, his first comment on the first verse of Genesis, which might be the best-known exegesis of the Torah, asserts the God-given right of the Jewish people to possess the Land of Israel.

Rashi’s hometown of Troyes was the site of the famous Champagne fairs, which sparked an international trade, that according to Janet Abu-Lughod, in Before European Hegemony, represented a critical “turning-point” in world history, giving rise to Europe as a modern economy, and assisting it in leaving behind the Dark Ages.[4] The King of France granted the privileges of the Champagne fairs to the Knights Templars, a Crusading order founded in 1119, and named after their headquarters in the site of the old Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem.[5] At the time, Champagne was governed by Hugh, Count of Champagne (c. 1074 – c.1125), a founding member of the Templars, who frequently received Rashi as an honored guest.[6]

Hugh of Champagne was a member of a network of primarily Frankish nobles who embarked on the expedition to the Holy Land, since known as the Princes’ Crusade, founding a legacy of chivalry remembered in the Legends of the Holy Grail, the symbol of their dynastic descent from King David, the bloodline expected to produce the messiah. In Judaism, ha mashiach, often referred to as melekh mashiach, is to be a Jewish leader, descended from the paternal Davidic line through King David and King Solomon. He is expected to accomplish the unification of the tribes of Israel, the gathering of all Jews to Eretz Israel, the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, the ushering in of a Messianic Age of global universal peace, and the annunciation of the world to come. Thus, the families of the Princes’ Crusade, although ostensibly Christian, appeared to have participated in an attempt to reconquer the Holy Land and establish one of their own as “King of Jerusalem,” in expectation of the coming of the Messiah.....
