Western Warfare in the Age of the Crusades, 1000–1300: Lecture Two of a Four part series, this deals with the style of warfare that the Crusaders would while crusading in the Middle East. This episode deals Eastern warfare during the Crusades along with touching on a variety of other subjects as well including the establishments of the Turks in Anatolia, the Horse Archer and Bow, the establishment of Citadels to rule the local populations, trade in the Muslim world, they methods and tactics of wafare that were common throughout the Medieval Islamic world and how the armies of the Islamic world adapted to combat the Medieval Knight of Western Europe. This authoritative and concise work surveys the range of warfare in the high Middle Ages while reflecting on the society that produced these military struggles. The lecture brings together for the first time a wealth of information on such topics as knighthood, military organization, weaponry and fortifications, and warfare in the East. In 1095 with the launching of the First Crusade, Europeans established a great military endeavour to save the Holy Land, an undertaking that remained a central preoccupation until the end of the thirteenth century. While the expeditions that went forth to fight the Muslims involved armies of exceptional size, much of the warfare within western Europe itself was conducted by small armies on behalf of landowners who were often neighbours and kin. In his approach to his subject, John France considers political, social, and economic development in the age of the crusades. He emphasizes the significance of four factors in shaping medieval warfare: the dominance of land as a form of wealth, the limited competence of government, the state of technology that favoured defence over attack, and the geography and climate of western Europe. His coverage of the castle and the knight in armour depicts the role of landowners in producing these characteristic medieval instruments of war. In addition, France provides an extensive analysis of battles in which he reconstructs a series of encounters in superb detail. DR. France was Professor Emeritus at Swansea University, and at the time of this podcast was Charles Boal Ewing Chair in Military History at West Point.
