In 1095 the First Crusade was launched, establishing a great
military endeavour which was a central preoccupation of Europeans
until the end of the thirteenth century. In Western warfare in the
age of the Crusades, 1000-1300 John France offers a wide-ranging
and challenging survey of war and warfare and its place in the
development of European Society, culture and economy in the period
of the Crusades. Placing the crusades in a wider context, this book
brings together the wealth of recent scholarly research on such
issues as knighthood, siege warfare, chivalry and fortifications
into an accessible form. Western warfare in the age of the
Crusades, 1000-1300 examines the nature of war in the period
1000-1300 and argues that it was primarily shaped by the people who
conducted war - the landowners. John France illuminates the role of
property concerns in producing the characteristic instruments of
war: the castle and the knight. This authoritative study details
the way in which war was fought and the reasons for it as well as
reflecting on the society which produced the crusades.
