Abstract	This article has its origins in a commentary delivered by the author on draft versions of the articles by Ines Guhe and Matthias Schwerendt included in this web publication. It seeks to contextualize crusading histories in the wider history of national historiographies and comments on the place of the crusades within European memory culture. Histories of the crusades are furthermore seen as exemplifying the strong interrelationship between national and religious master narratives. Furthermore, the article briefly alludes to the impact of Romanticism and Imperialism on crusading narratives and underlines the importance of future research into the ways in which those narratives have been gendered. The article concludes by arguing that there is no neat delineation between history and myths - in crusading histories as elsewhere in historical writing.
