Описание: Following on from Crusader Castles of the Teutonic Knights (1) which looked at the red-brick castles of Prussia, this second volume focuses on the stone castles of the Baltic states that are now Latvia and Estonia. In the 12th century a military order, the Brethren of the Sword, was founded to provide protection for Christian priests and missionaries who were spreading Christianity among the Baltic states. However, their actions soon went beyond this with attacks on the indigenous population and campaigns against encroaching neighbours such as Lithuania and Russia. This book details the origins, development and history of this order which later became incorporated into the Teutonic Knights. In particular Stephen Turnbull looks at the development of fortifications established to consolidate their conquests, their defensive features, how they operated and how they adapted to changes in the way warfare was carried out, such as the increased importance of gunpowder. Full of photos, illustrations, plans and reconstruction drawings by Peter Dennis.

Описание: The debacle of the Second Crusade in 1148 caused the Crusader States to realise the necessity of developing a more cautious strategy. The original expansionist spirit largely disappeared, and the Crusader States made priorities of strengthening their existing fortifications and towns and building new castles. These structures encompassed core aspects of Western European military architecture with the integration of rapidly developing Arab and Islamic traditions. Following Fortress 21: 'Crusader Castles in the Holy Land 1097a"1192', this book examines the design, development and defensive principles of some of the best-known Crusader fortifications and castles, including Crac des Chevaliers, Castel Blanc, Arsuf, Margat, Atlit, Montfort and Acre.

Описание: Presenting numerous interconnected insights into life in Greater Syria in the twelfth century, this book covers a wide range of themes relating to Crusader-Muslim relations. Some chapters deal with various literary sources, including little-known Crusader chronicles, a jihad treatise, a lost Muslim history of the Franks, biographies, letters and poems. Other chapters look at material culture, from coins to urban development, internal relations between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims and between Crusader and Oriental Christians, and the role of the Turkmen. New insights into the career of Saladin are revealed, for example through the work of a little-known propagandist at his court, and Saladin’s use of gift-giving for political purposes, as well as neglected aspects of the rule of his family dynasty, the Ayyubids, which succeeded him. Special attention is paid to the Christians residing in the Middle East, from Italians to Melkites and Armenians.
