The contributions presented in this volume address several issues related to the topic of medieval warfare from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and examining a number of geographical regions. The contributors analyze social and economic issues, military strategy, technological and medical developments, ideology and rhetoric, and address warfare in Europe, the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim world. In three parts, the contributors explore warfare in theory, warfare in practice and warfare as perceived through medieval and modern historiography. In doing so they present a number of engaging case studies that will be of use to students and scholars interested in warfare and its effects on medieval society.

Dès leur arrivée en Syrie, les Francs firent preuve d’une adaptabilité multiforme. Ils intégrèrent des éléments locaux dans leurs armées, palliant ainsi leurs difficultés démographiques, même s’il faut revenir sur l’idée d’une supériorité musulmane systématique. Les armées musulmanes souffrirent longtemps d’un déficit de commandement et ne devinrent cohésives, disciplinées et correctement équipées qu’à partir de Zankī. La guerre, très présente, s’était alors déjà réglée, au moins en partie. Les coups de main rapides et la guerre de siège constituaient la majorité des affrontements. Les Francs comblèrent leur retard en matière de poliorcétique. Sur les champs de bataille, servis par un équipement lourd de qualité, leurs cavaliers perfectionnèrent leur charge massive et leur technique de la charge lance couchée; les cavaliers turcs, polyvalents, y répondirent par une discipline et une mobilité plus grandes encore.

Vegetius' late Roman text became a well-known and highly respected 'classic' in the Middle Ages, transformed by its readers into the authority on the waging of war. Christopher Allmand analyses the medieval afterlife of the De Re Militari, tracing the growing interest in the text from the Carolingian world to the late Middle Ages, suggesting how the written word may have influenced the development of military practice in that period. While emphasising that success depended on a commander's ability to outwit the enemy with a carefully selected, well-trained and disciplined army, the De Re Militari inspired other unexpected developments, such as that of the 'national' army, and helped create a context in which the role of the soldier assumed greater social and political importance. Allmand explores the significance of the text and the changes it brought for those who accepted the implications of its central messages.

The success of the First Crusade, and its capture of Jerusalem in 1099, has been conventionally explained in terms of its ideological and political motivation. This book looks at the First Crusade primarily as a military campaign and asks why it was so successful. Modern writing about the crusade has tended to emphasise the moral dimension and the development of the idea of the crusade, but its fate was ultimately decided on the field of battle. Victory in the East looks at the nature of war at the end of the eleventh century and the military experience of all the contending parties in order to explain its extraordinary success. It is the first such examination, taking into account all other factors but emphasising the military.
