Description

Robert Payne. In this masterly work, Robert Payne brings to life the Crusades that founded vast kingdoms in Palestine nearly 1,000 years ago. This is a story of battles & valor, greed & piety, folly & baseness that mark the first major clash of Christianity & Islam. The book covers all 8 Crusades over 200 years, from the first in 1095, inspired by Pope Urban II, to Louis IX’s disastrous Crusade of 1270. This highly readable book is a major contribution to our understanding of the Middle Ages. “Displays his full powers of Payne both as a scholar & storyteller.” Originally published in Great Britain in 1986. Maps & B&W photos.
