Book Synopsis Armies of the Crusaders, 10961291 by : Gabriele Esposito
Download or read book Armies of the Crusaders, 10961291 written by Gabriele Esposito and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crusades were among the most astonishing historical events that took place during the Middle Ages. After centuries of relative isolation following the fall of the Roman Empire, Western Europe looked again towards the Middle East in search of lands to conquer. Incited by the Church to believe that the Holy Land must be liberated from its Muslim rulers (who had by then occupied it for centuries), and that to do so would bring spiritual salvation, many thousands from all over Christian Europe took the cross and joined the Crusades. Led by some of the most illustrious personalities of the age, such as Richard the Lionheart and Frederick Barbarossa, they fought numerous campaigns and even founded new Crusader states, some of which lasted for almost two centuries. Gabriele Esposito gives an overview of the key events of these campaigns, from the First Crusade in 1096 to the fall of Acre, the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land, in 1291. He analyzes the various contingents that made up the Crusader forces, describing their equipment and tactics and showing how they attempted to adapt to unfamiliar terrain and enemies. Included, of course, are the military orders (the Templar, Hospitaller and Teutonic knights) who combined the religious fervour of a monastic brotherhood with martial prowess, forming an elite core to the Christian forces. As usual, the informative text is lavishly illustrated with color photos depicting replica weapons and equipment in use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crusades were among the most astonishing historical events that took place during the Middle Ages. After centuries of relative isolation following the fall of the Roman Empire, Western Europe looked again towards the Middle East in search of lands to conquer. Incited by the Church to believe that the Holy Land must be 'liberated' from its Muslim rulers (who had by then occupied it for centuries), and that to do so would bring spiritual salvation, many thousands from all over Christian Europe 'took the cross' and joined the Crusades. Led by some of the most illustrious personalities of the age, such as Richard the Lionheart and Frederick Barbarossa, they fought numerous campaigns and even founded new 'Crusader states', some of which lasted for almost two centuries. Gabriele Esposito gives an overview of the key events of these campaigns, from the First Crusade in 1096 to the fall of Acre, the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land, in 1291.

Book Synopsis Sword and the Scimitar by : Ernle Bradford
Download or read book Sword and the Scimitar written by Ernle Bradford and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2004-02-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly two centuries, from 1096 until 1291, a tide of pilgrims, knights, men-at-arms, priests, traders and peasants swept from Western Europe to the Levant - Crusaders whose common aim was to recover the Holy Place of Christendom. The Sword and the Scimitar is a saga of one of the most fanatical religious wars in world history. It is a story abounding with highly distinctive personalities - popes, saints, kings, sultans and heroes like Saladin and Richard Coeur de Lion, of the encounter of two great cultures and their cross-fertilization. It tells of the three great Military Orders, the Knights Hospitaller of St John, the Teutonic Knights and the Knights Templar. It does not disguise the savagery that accompanied the capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders or the scenes of fire and carnage when the Kingdom of Jerusalem fell nearly two centuries later, and the markets of the East were so flooded with Christian slaves that a young Frankish woman might be sold for one silver coin.
Book Synopsis The Crusades, C.1071-c.1291 by : Jean Richard
Download or read book The Crusades, C.1071-c.1291 written by Jean Richard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-16 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise history of the crusades - whose chief goal was the liberation and preservation of the 'holy places' of the middle east - from the first calls to arms in the later twelfth century to the fall of the last crusader strongholds in Syria and Palestine in 1291. This is the ideal introductory textbook for all students of the crusades. Professor Richard considers the consequences of the crusades, such as the establishment of the Latin east, and its organisation into a group of feudal states, as well as crusading contacts with the Muslim world, eastern Christians, Byzantines, and Mongols. Also considered are the organisation of expeditions, the financing of such expeditionary forces, and the organisation of operations and supply. Jean Richard is one of the world's great crusader historians and this work, the distillation of over forty years' research and contemplation, is the only one of its kind in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Persian Empire reinstated a Jewish state in Palestine - after its Diaspora by the Assyrians and Babylonians - through the Empire of Alexander and successors to the Roman Empire, there has always been a political-religious space for the descendants of Jacob (Israel). In the simulation it will be sought to establish and maintain a Crusader state territory (kingdom) in the Levant, more or less in accordance with the integration of biblical Israeli tribes maps from 1200 BC, the UN partition of Palestine in 1947 AD and the physical geographical area - like a stronghold based on safe boundaries.

Download or read book Acre 1291 written by David Nicolle and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2005-08-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osprey's study of the battle at Acre, one of the last campaigns of the Crusages (1095-1291). In April 1291, a Mamluk army laid siege to Acre, the last great Crusader fortress in the Holy Land. For six weeks, the siege dragged on until the Mamluks took the outer wall, which had been breached in several places. The Military Orders drove back the Mamluks temporarily, but three days later the inner wall was breached. King Henry escaped, but the bulk of the defenders and most of the citizens perished in the fighting or were sold into slavery. The surviving knights fell back to their fortress, resisting for ten days, until the Mamluks broke through. This book depicts the dramatic collapse of this great fortress, whose demise marked the end of the Crusades in the Holy Land.

This is a look at the killing game and its devastating impact.
