This list covers the defensive phase of the Crusader states in Palestine; from the granting of Papal protection to the Templars in 1128, until the fall of the last Crusader stronghold (the off-shore Templar fortress of Tortosa) to the Mamluks in 1303. It includes the second Crusade of 1148 (ruined by dissension between French and German leaders), the disaster of Hattin in 1187 and the fall of Jerusalem to Saladin, the inconclusive third Crusade that featured the English contingent under Richard I “Lion-Heart”, but not the 4th Crusade of 1204 diverted by Venetian perfidy against Byzantine Constantinople, nor St. Louis” Crusade against Egypt in 1250, both of which armies were mainly French. Full mail, closed helms and short “heater- shaped” shields were now normal for knights. The True Cross was used as a standard until lost at Hattin, where it was carried by a Bishop in knightly armour. References: Armies and Enemies of the Crusades 1.
