James Wadsley writes
Against a later conqueror ( crusading
king Richard? ), however, the local ruler ( Turks? ) did create a scorched
region ( of roughly one hundred miles or so ) and he was effectively stuck on
the coast.
What he is referring to is not Turkish and was not directed against King
Richard. It was what the Egyptian Mamelukes (under Baibars) did in Palestine
after they destroyed the Crusading states. They did not devastate the land,
but they did destroy all coastal fortifications and cities, so that any new
Crusaders would have no place to establish a safe base. My suggestion
was for a land-based equivalent of what Baibars did to stop sea-based
invasions. Jim Chapin
