91 In the two defeats of the battles of La Forbie (1244) and Mansura (1250) the Franks lost a large number of men. It seems they could not rebuild their army without considerable help from Europe. According to Marshall there was a strategic change during the mid thirteenth century and the Franks clearly preferred defending themselves from within their fortresses to heading out into the open battlefield.
