Outremer! as medieval westerners called the remaining Latin or Catholic enclaves in the eastern Mediterranean! was no longer a threat to Islam. Its military elites preferred to live in peace! focusing on trade as much as on the defence of Christendom's holy places. In this! the first book in the English language to objectively study the knights of the Latin East!
