Description
The Crusader’s main offensive military weapon was the mounted knight. As a large force, the charge of this heavy cavalry was a serious threat in any confrontation. The shock tactics that were used was dependent on the heavily armed knight with lance and sword on horse-back bearing down on an opponent at full speed. such a charge could inflict heavy damage on an enemy, however it requires great control over ones army to keep them under control in the face of mounted archers who would ride in and out of distance leaving arrows and dead horses in their wake. The Crusader’s military tactics have been said to come from both common sense and a knowledge of Byzantine and Roman military tactics.
