This volume brings together a series of articles by John France,
published over a span of more than forty years, covering a number
of aspects of the military and crusading history of the Middle
Ages, both in Europe and the Near East. An interest in
understanding how war worked and why informs a first group of
articles, ranging from Carolingian armies to the organisation of
war in the 13th century. The focus then turns to the Crusades, the
most ambitious conquests of the era, with a set of studies on the
First Crusade and others on the manner and conduct of warfare in
the territories of the Latin East. The volume also includes a major
unpublished analysis, co-authored with Nicholas Morton, of the
problems faced by the local Islamic powers in the early Crusading
period, reminding us that an army is only as strong as its enemies
permit, and suggesting that the crusaders should be seen in this
light.
