About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Born in Cornwall in 1911, Robert Payne was educated at St Paul's School, at the universities of Capetown and Liverpool and at the Sorbonne. At various times a shipwright, an armaments officer, a news correspondent, a translator, a professor of English and a pilot, but always a historian, he lived all over Europe and Africa and in Asia. He was author of over fifty books including The Splendour of Persia, The Holy Sword and The Gold of Troy.

Review :
'Probably no author of this century has produced so many books at such a high level of scholarship.' The Times 'Payne's book recreates the two hundred years of Crusader history with a blazing intensity that exhibits to the full his powers both as scholar and storyteller. He covers all eight Crusades in a magnificent sweep, from that of 1095, inspired by Pope Urban II, to the disastrous one of 1270 led by Louis IX. The book is a major contribution to our understanding of the Middle Ages, and makes marvellous reading.' Publishers' Weekly
