Drawing on a wide range of Muslim texts and archaeological evidence, as well as frequently cited Western sources, British historian Steve Tibble examines the Crusader armies of the 12th century. What do we know about the size of these armies? What motivated the Crusaders? How were their troops equipped, how did they operate on the battlefield? And why, after their initial remarkable successes, did the movement collapse?

This book presents the most comprehensive picture yet of the history of the first two Crusades. The author offers a new perspective on the Templars, Hospitallers, and other key orders, suggesting that the Crusades were driven by both religious conflicts and the challenges of sedentary and nomadic tribes. He also analyzes the strategy, development, and cultural diversity of the Crusader armies, demonstrating how complex they were even by today's standards.
