Comment

As did CSJ member Derek Lomax (cf. his works in BKA) he supports the use of the word "Reconquest", and the use of "Crusade" for warfare under a Crusade Bull. Many references to Santiago and to pilgrimage. The cover illustration shows San Millan (de la Cogolla) intervening in a battle as a Matamoros. Useful chapter on the Liturgy of Reconquest and Crusade.
