Throop, Palmer A. "Criticism of Papal Crusade Policy in Old French and Provencal."
Speculum 13:3 (1938): 379-412.

          Throop examines medieval poetry from the 12th, 13th and 14th century which, in searching for a reason
          for the failure of the crusades, blames the disunity of European nobility and the Papacy. Specifically,
          Throop reveals how the poetry of the time blamed Papal policy for calling Crusades against other
          Christians, in both the West and the East, when they should have been focused on the liberation of the Holy
          Land. Objections to Crusades in the West, such as the Albigensian Crusade, may have been the basis for
          the otherwise impious Troubadour’s devotion to liberating the Holy Land.
