In eect, it had – possibly unexpectedly – been able to reinvigorate itself and “re-invent” itself as a powerful and vital organisation militarily and administratively. Indeed, it had been the administrative and military activities of the Teutonic Order which – together with eorts extended by the other Military Orders –that had aided the attempt to salvage and maintained the Latin Kingdom during the decline and [nal collapse which marked the Crusader Kingdom in the later years of the thirteen century. e Teutonic Military Order was founded in the Holy Land in 1198, where the already well established Military Orders of the Hospitallers and Templars were long active, with an ever-increasing military power and political inuence.2 e rather new Teutonic Order had to secure its military power and to elevate its 1 is study is based on a research work which is included in my Ph.D. dissertation submitted to the Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology, Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel (2008). I am indebted to my supervisor, Prof. Yvonne Friedman for her valuable guidance in the course of my work. I would also like to thank the European Forum at the Hebrew Univer- sity, Jerusalem, Israel, for its continued support in my research on the Teutonic Military Order. 2 W.

Such trials included the expansion of Crusader settlements in the north of the Latin Kingdom which also resulted in new rural [efs and urban estates that had been acquired by the Order. Also, their leadership had acted as arbitrator in disputes between other Military Orders and the Kingdom’s political authorities. e Teutonic knights oered their political experience and intimate knowledge of the Crusaders‘ enemies and helped in formulating what could be construed as a rational policy for the Latin Kingdom. All of these had occurred during King Louis IX’s Crusade in the Latin East in 1248, lasting until the collapse of the Latin Kingdom and the fall of Acre in 1291.4 During the Seventh Crusade led, in Egypt, by Saint Louis in 1249, the Teu- tonic Knights had fought together with the other Military Orders and combined armies of French and Crusades. e Teutonic Knights participated in the attempts to conquer the Muslim city of Damietta and took part, in 1250, in the battle of Mansura, where they had sustained several fatalities. Ten of their Knights had been captured with some French soldiers and with Saint Louis himself. When released aer the defeat at Mansura, the French king had decided, on the advice of the Military Orders and the Crusader leadership, to concentrate on the rehabilitation of the Frankish Kingdom and the securing of its holdings.5 Securing the interior of the Kingdom had become a major Crusader policy to the realisation of which they had extended considerable military eorts during the second half of the thirteenth century. e history of the Teutonic Order in the Latin East had been aected by several political and military events in 1260. e Mongol invasion had reached the Near East threatening the very existence of the Latin Kingdom. e Crusader assembled in Acre, to discuss the Muslim request to join forces against the Mongols. e ten- dency amongst the Crusaders was to accept this request. However, the Teutonic 3 I. Sterns, #e Teutonic Knights in the Crusader States, in: A History of the Crusades, Vol. 5, eds. N. P. Zacour a. H. W. Hazard, Madison 1985, pp. 371–378. 4 K.
