The Cambridge History of Strategy
Volume I of The Cambridge History of Strategy offers a history of the practice of strategy from the beginning of recorded history, to the late eighteenth century, from all parts of the world. Drawing on material evidence covering two-and-a-half millennia, an international team of leading scholars in each subject examines how strategy was formulated and applied and with what tools, from ancient Greece and China to the Ottoman and Mughal Empires an…

Armies and Bands in Medieval Europe
After the collapse of Rome Europe was dominated by relatively small powers. Its development, therefore, was different from that of China or some of the powers of the Middle East. Lacking continuous existence and permanent facilities armies depended on native skills which recruits brought with them. The retinues of the powerful, who could train and buy equipment, were at an advantage. In time they became predominantly mounted warriors, the knights…

Byzantium confronts its neighbours
The fall of the Byzantine empire at the end of the twelfth century and the debacle of 1204 had complex causes, most of which are far beyond the scope of a short paper. However, it is very evident that military failure was a powerful element in the Byzantine collapse. The enquiry that follows seeks to establish the reasons for this failure by examining the nature of the empire’s armies and the events of particular campaigns. It is evident that swe…

The Destruction of Jerusalem and the First Crusade
The First Crusade was such an important event with such amazing consequences that it is hardly surprising that an enormous amount of ink has been spent on discovering the reasons why enthusiasm for it was so widespread. Much effort has been spent on examining factors which preconditioned the men of the eleventh century to welcome Urban's appeal in 1095–6. Broadly speaking it has been supposed that the wars against Islam in Spain accustomed men to…
The occasion of the coming of the Normans to southern Italy
Historians looking at the first arrival of the Normans in southern Italy have tended to conflate uncritically a wide variety of sources. The diversity of stories was present from very early times and sprang from the very nature of the ‘free enterprise’ conquest of southern Italy. The nature of the stories, especially the account of Amatus of Monte Cassino, which embodies poetic material, has been insufficiently understood. This article stresses t…
Rodulfus Glaber and the Cluniacs
The two works of Rodulfus Glaber, the Histories and the Life of St William , have always been held to be of special importance because of the supposed Cluniac origins of this writer. Glaber is commonly referred to as a Cluniac monk, as can be seen from the title of an important modern series of articles about him, while Delaruelle's famous essay about Cluny and Holy War leans heavily upon his ‘Cluniac connections’. The lack of literary sources ab…
The Election and Title of Godfrey de Bouillon
The circumstances under which Godfrey de Bouillon was elected to the governance of Jerusalem remain obscure to us, and have been the subject of enduring myths. Even recent writers 1 tell us that he refused a crown of gold where Christ had worn a crown of thorns, although the best source makes it clear that it was his rival, Raymond Count of Toulouse, who took this line on being offered the crown of Jerusalem. 2 The attachment of this story to God…
The First Crusade and Islam
The Departure of Tatikios from the Crusader Army
The departure of Tatikios, the imperial representative on the Crusade, from the Latin camp in early February 1098 is an event which has received curiously little attention from historians. The actual circumstances of the departure have not been fully explored, but more important, perhaps, Tatikios’s role in Byzantine-crusader relations remains obscure

Crusading warfare and its adaptation to eastern conditions in the twelfth century
This article examines the development of warfare and military methods in Europe and the Middle East in the twelfth century and suggests why they developed as they did. It analyses the styles of war in both areas and examines the way in which the Europeans who settled in the Holy Lands adapted their style of war to suit local conditions. Its conclusion is that the Europeans of the Holy Lands adapted their style of war considerably. It suggests tha…
