This is a study of siege warfare in the 12th century. The siege was an integral part of medieval military experience, and was particularly significant in the Mediterranean region. R. Rogers explores siege warfare and the role it played in the First Crusade and the establishment of the Crusader States, in Italy, Spain and Portugal and in the seaborne expeditions of the Italian maritime states. Dr. Rogers sets out to discover how it was that crusading forces handicapped by rudimentary organization and logistical support were able to conduct some of the most dramatic siege operations of the pre-gunpowder period. He traces the development and diffusion of techniques; and analyzes the experience of siege warfare in every aspect, from the question of supplies of component parts for siege engines to the often complex political situations of besieger and besieged. This is a book which contributes not only to the military history of the 12th century but also to its political and cultural history.
