	Trou de loup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mediaeval fortification, a trou de loup (French for "wolf hole"; plural trous de loup, also commonly referred as a tiger pit in the East) was a type of booby trap or defensive obstacle.
		Trous de loup might be found singly as a trap (in which case they were always concealed), or in a dense pattern with no gaps between pits, used as an obstacle in front of a defended position.
		A field of trous de loup could be made most effective if subsequently flooded to a shallow depth, which would conceal the pits, make their sides slippery, and add the risk of drowning.

	Cheval de frise - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Cheval de frise at the Confederate defenses at the Siege of Petersburg
		The cheval de frise (plural: chevaux de frise) was a Mediaeval defensive obstacle consisting of a portable frame (sometimes just a simple log) covered with many long iron or wooden spikes or even actual spears.
		A variation of the chevaux de frise are Czech hedgehog anti-tank obstacles, typically composed of three rails, crossed in such a way that they form a six-spiked figure, possibly sealed in concrete or partly buried in sand or earth (very much like a metal abatis).

		Because many of the Crusaders returned home after the first crusade and the capture of Jerusalem in 1099, there was a shortage of soldiers to provide this steady stream of pilgrims who where harassed and ambushed by brigands and by Muslim irregular forces.
		Hugh de Payns and Godefroi de Saint Omer, two knights, swore an oath to defend the pilgrims, taking an oath of poverty, chastity, obedience, stylizing themselves as knights but in the tradition of the monasteries.
		These were the first ‘monks of the sword,’ men whose devotion to faith as soldiers of Christ bore the full fruit of the church efforts to ‘civilize’ the early knights.

		As they faltered, Thompson, anticipating an order from General Williams, detached 800 infantry and his bashi-bazooks dismounted across the bridge and up the face of the gorge to take back the redoubts.
		Seeing this, Basin launched his dragoons, but the horses fell foul of the five rows of 'trou de loup' pits which had been dug in front of the breastworks, and in the confusion most of the unseated riders were easily picked off by the defenders.
