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: Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (1174-85) suffered from lepromatous leprosy, the most deadly form of the disease.

Описание: This book gives a detailed account of the discussions and changes of policy and analyses the experiments and their results. Dr Bennoune argues that the rapid development of basic industries provides the only path by which countries in the Third World can hope to attain real independence, and that this policy demands a degree of public participation that only a democratic government can generate.
Описание: The crusade which conquered Mediterranean Spain in the thirteenth century resulted in the domination by an alien Christian minority of a dissident Muslim majority and an unusually large Jewish population.

Описание:
Crusading and the Crusader States explores how the idea of holy war emerged from the troubled society of the eleventh century, and why Jerusalem and the Holy Land were so important to Europeans. It follows the progress of the major crusading expeditions, offering insights into initial success and subsequent failure, charts the development of new attitudes towards Islam and its followers, and shows the effects of the Crusades on society and culture in the Near East.
Providing analysis and discussion of this vital period of medieval history, Andrew Jotischky discusses key questions such as how crusading evolved in theory and practice, how crusading expeditions were planned and carried out, why they were considered such an essential part of medieval society, and why their popularity endured despite military failures.
This new edition takes into account the wealth of rich and varied recent research to show why crusading should be seen as central to the European experience in the Middle Ages. It engages with key historiographical debates of the past decade, including how Crusades were formed, the political culture and social networks of crusading, and the effects of crusading on western religious and aristocratic culture. It now extends into the fifteenth century to discuss the lasting ramifications of the Crusades, and illustrate their legacy into the early modern period.
It is essential reading for all students of the Crusades and medieval history.
