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.

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.

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.

Waitz, Heinrich I.,Excurs 15,“On the Reported Discovery of Metals in the Harz under Henry I”(“Ueber die angebliche Entdeckung der Metalle im Harz unter Heinrich I”). 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.

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.

Helfferich, Money and Banks(Geld und Banken),1:87,says: “In the face of an almost complete cessation of production of precious metals and a heavy flow of such metals to the Byzantine Empire and the Far East, an unusual decrease in the supply of precious metal in Western Europe apparently took place in the fifth, sixth, and seventh centuries.”It does not seem to me to be proven that precious metal flowed away from the west specifically to the Byzantine Empire; at least, there was only a shortage and no superfluous amount there either. But the general decrease in the Roman Empire must have started much earlier, and in the third century A.D. it was already leading to the catastrophe. See Vol.II, p.212 ff.

9.Delpech,2:43,believes the Brabantines were horsemen. Köhler,3:2:148 ff.,says they were foot soldiers, but he gives no basis for his opinion. When he expresses surprise on p.152 that they disappeared after the battle of Bouvines and we later find only national levies and soldiers of the cities in Germany as foot troops, this point is at odds with his opinion that the Brabantines were already such a highly developed infantry. Furthermore, on p.147,note, he himself cites an English source, Gervasius Dorobernesis, Chronica de rebus anglicis(Chronicles of English History)of the year 1138 to the effect that William of Ypres, the first of the historic mercenary leaders, commanded “milites et pedites multos”(“many knights and foot soldiers”). Furthermore, in the treaty between Barbarossa and Louis VII of France of the year 1170(Martène, Veterum scriptorum … amplissima collectio: Largest Collection of Ancient Writers …,2:880),express mention is made of the “Brabantiones sive coterelli”(“Brabantines or coterelli”)as “equites seu pedites”(“horsemen or foot soldiers”).

13.The first treaty is reproduced in Rymer, Foedera,1:7,and the second one on p.22. In the conditions governing the pay are provisions that do not seem to be consistent. In the obligation of the barons, it is stated that those who receive 30 marks “pro feodo”(as “fief”)were obligated to provide 10 milites, and so forth. But the total amount for 1,000 knights was only 400 marks. But in the renewed treaty of 1163,30 marks was the agreed amount for every ten knights.
