Dr Steve Tibble
Steve Tibble is a graduate of Cambridge and London Universities, and has an honorary position at Royal Holloway College, University of London. He is one of the foremost academics currently working in the field of the crusades, and is the author of the warfare and strategy chapters in both 'The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades' and 'The Cambridge History of the Crusades'.
His recent publications have been critically acclaimed and include 'The Crusader Armies' (Yale, 2018) and 'The Crusader Strategy' (Yale, 2020, short-listed for the Duke of Wellington's Military History Prize). He has recently completed a trilogy about the 'bad boys' of the crusades including, 'Templars - The Knights who made Britain' (2023), 'Crusader Criminals - The Knights Who Went Rogue in the Holy Land' (2024) and 'Assassins and Templars - A Battle in Myth and Blood' (2025).
Steve has spent much of his career focusing on how to convey complex ideas to non-specialist audiences. He takes some of the more far-reaching implications of current academic research in medieval history, and synthesises them in a way which is accessible to a broader audience for the first time.
