LAOPYRQ9 There is actually rather less about the fall of Acre in this booklet than you might think, but that might be a commentary on the locality's relative irrelevance by 1291. What this book really deals with is the Mameluke state's wider diplomacy and strategy, as they cleaned up assorted loose ends in their greater conflict with their Mongol adversaries. The ongoing parallel war between Italian Angevins and Aragon was the main action in Christendom. Though the Christian "military" orders arguably never recovered their prestige in the wake of this defeat and the Mameluke ascendance accelerated the diminution of Christian culture in the Levant and sub-Saharan Africa. As this work is almost a generation old there is a certain grim irony in reading about the opportunities for tourism in the region. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Osprey's study of the battle at Acre, one of the last campaigns of the Crusages (1095-1291). In April 1291, a Mamluk army laid siege to Acre, the last great Crusader fortress in the Holy Land. For six weeks, the siege dragged on until the Mamluks took the outer wall, which had been breached in several places. The Military Orders drove back the Mamluks temporarily, but three days later the inner wall was breached. King Henry escaped, but the bulk of the defenders and most of the citizens perished in the fighting or were sold into slavery. The surviving knights fell back to their fortress, resisting for ten days, until the Mamluks broke through. This book depicts the dramatic collapse of this great fortress, whose demise marked the end of the Crusades in the Holy Land. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
