Third Battle of Ramla (1105)

Also known as Ramla 1105

Three years after the catastrophe of 1102, Baldwin I returned to Ramla on 27 August 1105 with the lessons of combined-arms warfare fully internalised. With 500 knights and 2,000 infantry, he met a joint Fatimid–Damascene army that fielded a substantial corps of 1,300 Turkish horse archers supplied by the Burid dynasty — the first time a major coalition of Egyptian infantry and Syrian light cavalry had operated against the kingdom. The Crusader infantry absorbed the arrow harassment without breaking; when the Frankish knights charged in concentration the coalition collapsed, leaving perhaps 1,200 dead against only 60 to 100 Crusader losses. The victory effectively neutralised any major Fatimid threat to the kingdom's interior for a generation, confining Egyptian aggression thereafter to coastal raids.
