1700080044 35.Köhler,3:1:95,has assembled a few passages, wherever they occur. Edward III of England, especially, formed in 1356 a guard of mounted archers. In the index volume, among the supplements, the author also added another passage from Wigalois. I would also add the treaty of alliance of the Lombards, Murat. Ant.,4.490. But even in England they never became a real arm. In the fifteenth century we do find many archers on horseback, but this was only a means of transportation for them; in battle, they dismounted.

1700080046 The Saracens of Frederick II are considered by Köhler to have been exclusively dismounted archers. But it is expressly stated in Annales Parmenses majores(Greater Annals of Parma),SS.,18.673,that in 1248 before Parma the emperor had “balistarii tam equites quam pedites”(“crossbowmen on horseback as well as on foot”).

1700080050 37.Köhler,2:35,assembled a few examples, but they show basically that such combat techniques were used less in actual practice than in the heroic accounts, and they succeeded still less often.

1700080074 48.The provisions of the Teutonic order, which followed the pattern of the Knights Templars, state in the “Customs,”Chap.46(Perlbach, p.111),that on the march the knight was to have his squire ride in front of him so that he could keep a close watch on his armor.
1700080075
1700080076 49.The provision in the Teutonic order was quite similar(Perlbach, p.117):“Nullus frater insultum faciat, nisi prius vexillum viderit insilisse. Post insultum vexilli quilibet pro viribus corporis et animi, quidquid poterit exercebit et redibit ad vexillum, cum viderit oportunum.”(“No brother should make an attack, unless he will have seen the banner charge first. After the attack of the banner each will employ whatever he can according to the strength of his body and spirit, and he will return to the banner when he will have seen it opportune.”)

1700080080 51.“The weakest moment for the cavalry is immediately after carrying out an attack. This pause cannot be eliminated fast enough, and order, calm, and a closed formation cannot be restored quickly enough, in order that a unit be in a position to face any eventuality.”Instructions by Major General Carl von Schmidt, Berlin,1876,p.152.

1700080082 52.I cannot remember reading in any medieval source anything about signals in battle. The Knights Templars gave signals in camp with a bell. According to Gautier(Prutz, p.27),before the battle of Athareb, Prince Roger ordered that at the first trumpet call everybody was to don his equipment(“audito primo sonitu gracilis”—that was a kind of trumpet),at the second trumpet call they were to assemble, and at the third they were to appear for service of worship. Afterwards, as they went into battle(p.29),the Christians moved forward “gracilibus, tibiis, tubisque clangentibus”(“while the trumpets, pipes, and horns were sounding”). Duke John of Brabant, too, ordered before the battle of Worringen that the trumpets should blow to signal the manner in which they should attack or fight, in order to encourage his men. The “ministrere” stopped their blowing when they saw the ducal banner sink but started blowing the trumpets again when it was raised once more(Ian von Heelu, verses 5668,5694,pp.211-212). From this passage, Köhler(3:2:340)concluded that this was a normal custom and that the trumpeters were near the banner in order to indicate where it was, even if it was obscured by dust. This conclusion goes too far in every respect. Ducange quotes from the Vita St. Pandulfi,n.15: “illam tubam, quam ad significandum proelium tubare significavi”(“that horn which I gave the sign to blow to indicate battle”).

1700080084 53.In his work on the conduct of battle of occidental armies in the period of the First Crusade, Heermann determined(p.103)that all the battlefields in that area whose terrain forms are recognizable(Dorylaeum, Lake of Antioch, Antioch, Ascalon, Ramleh(1101),Joppe, Ramleh(1105),Sarmin, Merdj-Sefer, Athareb, and Hab)are plains and that in all the source accounts there is hardly a trace of terrain difficulties or battles in towns or woods.
1700080085
1700080086 Emperor Leo, Tactics,18. 92,says that broken terrain was disadvantageous for the Franks in mounted combat, because they normally made a strong shock action with their lances. Of course, this strong blow is not to be understood in the modern sense.
1700080087
1700080088 54.This comes into consideration particularly against mounted archers, and therefore in the Crusades. Heermann(p.103)traces this back to the tactics of the Moslems, who, with their great numerical superiority, always tried to envelop the Christians. This great superiority of the infidels is to be dismissed as a Christian fable; the reason is to be sought, rather, in their differing armament.
