Recovery of the Holy Land, from the Latin recuperatio Terrae Sanctae, was a genre of treatises and memoranda in High and Late Medieval Christian literature that proposed how Christendom might recover the Holy Land following the Crusades. The genre first appeared in preparation for the Second Council of Lyon in 1274, proliferated after the fall of Acre in 1291 ended the permanent Crusader presence in the region, and largely disappeared after Philip VI of France cancelled his planned crusade in 1336 and the Hundred Years' War began the following year; the genre reached its height during the pontificate of Clement V, from 1305 to 1314.
