This book looks at the conduct of war in the crusaders' kingdom
from the end of the Third Crusade to the final demise of the Latin
Kingdom in 1291. Among the many fascinating subjects covered by
Christopher Marshall are the military impact of the crusades, the
make-up of the Christian and Muslim armies, the structure and
organization of castles and other strongpoints such as fortified
towns, battles, raiding expeditions, and sieges. During this period
the Christians struggled to defend their kingdom as the threat from
their Muslim neighbors grew ever stronger. He concludes that the
Christians simply did not have the manpower to defend their
strongpoints and thus, without adequate support from the west,
finally lost their kingdom in 1291. This book provides a fitting
companion to the classic study Crusading Warfare, 1097-1193 by R.C.
Smail. Like its distinguished predecessor, this new work will
appeal to a wide range of medievalists and to all those interested
in the crusades and in medieval warfare in general.
