THE CRUSADES: Defending Outremer (Ep.2): What role did the Franks’ own tactics and strategy play?
Whilst the Military Orders certainly provided a much need injection of discipline, expertise and professionalism into Outremer’s forces, it would be remiss to discount the Franks’ own contribution to their defence. In this episode, Dr Steve Tibble explores some of the tactics and strategies they developed and deployed on the battlefields of the Near East. Was the Franks’ own military skill Outremer’s main means of defence?
This episode is the second in a mini-series of three. The complete mini-series includes:
Ep.1: What role did the Templars and Hospitallers play?
Ep.2: What role did the Franks’ own tactics and strategy play?
