Many of the crusaders arrived in the Holy Land on foot, as keeping a horse was shown in the following illustrations as well as siege weapons and techniques For example, the siege weapons were used in major conflicts from the Medieval Period such as the Crusades and the Hundred Years War. The most common or popular siege weapons of the Middle Ages included the following.

Arthuriana, Volume 10, Number 4, The swiftness of B�ziers s fall, with virtually no blockade or siege, was extremely unusual in medieval warfare and this makes what happened there seem worse for some reason. In other words, had the crusaders blockaded B�ziers for weeks, then stormed the city, one might chalk up what happened after it fell as the result of pent-up frustration. This study is concerned with the military history of the crusades to the Eastern Our knowledge of siege warfare in the twelfth century has been greatly extended The best known crusades were a series of military expeditions promoted the papacy during the Middle Ages, aimed at taking the Holy Land for Christendom. The Holy Land had been in the hands of the Muslims since 638, and it was against them that the crusades were, at least nominally, directed. As best I can tell, generally negative modern assumptions about the crusaders, when coupled with the very real and extraordinary violence of the crusaders, as well as our knowledge of customary rules of medieval warfare in a non-crusading context, perhaps make it easy for many authors to accept the claim that the crusaders were rapists. The Crac des Chevaliers has fallen victim to the chaos of Syria's civil war following a siege between Government forces and villagers and The Siege of Damascus in 1148 AD is often viewed as the great betrayal of the Therefore, the crusaders' chosen approach made logistical sense. Of Damascus is just one example of the importance of logistics in warfare. Siege warfare was, however, a common form of warfare during these violent times. Siege warfare was a common occurrence especially during: The Crusades when the use of the Siege Warfare was used the crusaders to capture towns and fortresses in the Holy Land from the Infidels, Saracens Researchers recently discovered a sunken ship in Israel's Bay of Haifa.

Sieges played a key role in the crusades, but they tend to be overshadowed the famous battles fought between the Franks and the Muslims, and no detailed study of the subject has been published in recent times.

Humans have enlisted animals to After the First Crusade, popes continued to call for Crusades; their blessing was seen as essential. After all, these battles were perceived as "God's will." Many of the Crusades would begin with a goal to reach the Holy Land, but would break down because of politics and warfare failure. The Siege of Acre, 1189 1191: Saladin, Richard the Lionheart and the Battle Hosler, who shows a keen understanding of medieval warfare, Because of the scale of the Crusades' battles and because Muslim warfare was so much more advanced, the Crusaders had to develop new war tactics. These siege warfare tactics were sometimes successful - but in other cases, they failed completely. For example, in the Second Crusade, the crusader methods to attack Damascus were disastrous.

Given the diversity of the subject, students approaching crusading warfare should familiarize themselves not only with the historiography but also with the serious problems which face researchers in this area, and hence this chapter offers a multifaceted approach.
