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”）.

1700080083

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.

1700080089

1700080090 55.Heermann says in his introduction that we can get to know the knightly method of warfare best and most accurately from the early period of the Crusades. In the later Crusades, the occidentals possibly had borrowed from the orientals, whereas they must have won their first victories with their original tactics. Furthermore, we also have broader source accounts of those events, accounts that are much more meager for events in the west. As logical as this idea may seem, it is nevertheless not correct. The peculiar new conditions of combat were present right from the beginning, at Dorylaeum, and the Crusaders had to try to adapt to them.

According to Waitz, mining in the Harz under Otto I is definitely confirmed by Widukind and Thietmar; it is still questionable as to whether it really went back to the time of Henry I.Inama-Sternegg, German Economic History from the Tenth to the Twelfth Century（Deutsche Wirtschaftsgeschichte des 10.bis 12. Jahrhundert），2：430 f.

1700080116 The values for grains estimated by Peschel are obviously unreliable, and his opinion that a decrease of metal supplies can be observed in Europe from the fourteenth century on is certainly incorrect.
