Crusaders and residents European knights had been taught to despise their h,luslim foes as cowards who fought from a dist;~nce;supposedly because they had so little blood in their veins that they feared getting hltrt. Such ludicrous propaganda clecreased in tlie 13th century as tlie Church, and tlie more educated knights, came to see their enemies as heretics rather than pagans. Moral doubts prompted by contact \\rith Islamic ci\ilization were also expressecl bv a certain Ricoldus around 1294 when lie wrote: 'We have been amazed that amongst the follo~\-ersof so perfidious a law, deecls of so great perfection are to be found.' R4eanr\lhiIe anti-Byzantine prejuclice increased; Orthodox Greeks being portrayed as devious, colv;irtlly and effete. Tliougli tlie appeal of Crusading was fading fast, many knights remained a warlike breed. As the southern French trou- badour Pierre de Dergerac sang ;u-ound 1204:

As a result the knightly 6lite of Outremer was not only few The south-eastem comer of the in number but held fiefs with an inadequate number of peasants. Most fortified medieval city of Gibelet of the elite were also of modest origins. Of almost 70 identifiable ("OW Jubai"* the lordship in the County of Tripoli. seigneurial families the great majority came from France, wit11 a smaller (Author,s photograph) number from the German Empire, the Norman kingdonis, Italy, Cilician Armenia and Latin Cyprus. The acute shortage of manpower also led to a relaxation of the rules for knighthood to encourage pilgrims to settle. Such pilgrims came from as far afield as Iceland and Ethiopia. The Fourth Crusade led to another wave of settlement, though largely in the new Latin states around the Aegean. Knights 1\.11o lived permanently in Outremer called themselves chertnliers de la terre, or 'knights of the land'. Those of mixed origin descended from a European father and a Middle Eastern mother, were called poulnins or polnins by Westerners, possibly meaning colts or runts. Another characteristic of Outrerner, particularly in the 13th century, was the fact that most knights supported themselves with Jigs en be.~snnts, or 'money fiefs', rather than landed estates as in France; some drawing money from market tolls, industrial production or the sale of specific vegetables. A shortage of resident troops, combined with a relative abundance of cash, also led to a widespread use of mercenaries while the powerful Military Orders and urban communes also provided troops with knights. The nature of these 13thcentury forces was changing, with the rising power of rich Italian merchants and knightly families being seen as a threat to the existing French-speaking knightly 6lite. For example, a Genoese knight of the Gatiluxius family and his four sons arrived in 1251, along with their weapons, horses and some followers aboard a merchant ship and a galley. Detailed information about others survives in a legal document dating from St Louis IX's Crusade a year earlier. The good ship St Victor had 453 Crusaders on board, eight of the ten leading passengers being knights together with a total of 90 retainers.

G: SUGAR FACTORY-FIEF IN THE KINGDOM OF JERUSALEM, C. AD 1280 Many fiefs in Outremer raised money from industry or commerce rather than agriculture as in Western Europe. Amongst the richest were money-fiefs which included sugar- processing factories. This technology had been copied from the Islamic peoples of the Middle East but, unlike their Muslim neighbours, the Latin elite of Outremer often used slave labour to turn the huge stone presses. Such slaves included captured Muslim women.
