This book brings to life the 200 years of Crusade history, covering all eight crusades from that of 1095, inspired by Pope Urban II, to the disastrous one of 1270 led by Louis IX. The book brings to life the crusade battalions that founded vast kingdoms in Christ's native land nearly 1000 years ago. This is a saga of the medieval world that tells of the clash between East and West at a time when religious fervour was widespread and the possession of an ancient sepulchre mattered most in the lives of men.
