Born amid immense suffering and bloodshed, the Kingdom of Jerusalem remained a battlefield for almost 200 years. The Crusades gave rise to the Military Orders of the Templars and Hospitallers, and were a backdrop to the careers of some of history's most famous leaders including Richard 'The Lionheart' and Saladin. On occasion the savagery of the Crusaders left their opponents reeling, creating frictions that survived for more than 700 years. At the same time, as this book lavishly illustrates, art, architecture and learning all benefited from new knowledge the Crusaders brought back from the East.

Synopsis from the book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This Bellerophon Book has 31 Figures from the Christian armies of the west (the Franks), 10 figures from the Byzantine Empire and Central Europe - allies of the Franks (some of the time), and 27 figures of their splendid Muslim foeman. You can deploy them over the same lands of the eastern Mediterranean that are embattled today. Mr. Nicolle, the celebrated scholar of ancient arms, has spared no efforts of research in making these figures authentic.
