Strelets M013 1/72 Crusades Muslim Foot Warriors

While this set mentions no date it is clear these figures are intended for the medieval period – a very turbulent one for the Muslim world. Warfare with neighbours such as the Byzantines was a fairly common occurrence but there were also three major incursions to be dealt with. First the Sejjuk Turks conquered during the 11th century, then European Christians came in a series of crusades and temporarily established kingdoms in the Middle East, and finally the Mongols appeared in devastating force during the 13th century. However throughout this period a Muslim soldier was just as likely to find himself fighting fellow Muslims in a local power struggle, and could very easily find himself serving alongside Turks, Europeans or Mongols at various times.
