Step into the violent world of the 13th century, where the European
states of the Levant battled with Muslim powers for control of
Jerusalem. At the cutting edge of the conflict were the elite
fighting men of the Crusader and Egyptian armies - the Knights
Templar and the Mamluks, respectively. The Templars were the most
famous and formidable of the European Military Orders, while the
Mamluks were a slave caste whose fighting prowess had elevated them
to the point of holding real political power, threatening their
Ayyubid masters who relied on them so desperately for military
success. This book draws on the latest research to tell the story
of three key engagements from the Fifth Crusade to the Seventh
Crusade. It reveals the extraordinary ferocity with which these
battles were fought, and how the struggle between Templar and
Mamluk came to shape the political future of the region.
