The Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Frankish East 1100-1187

Trama

This volume deals completely with the First Crusade and the foundation of the kingdom of Jerusalem. As Runciman says in his preface: Whether we regard the Crusades as the most tremendous and most romantic of Christian adventures, or as the last of the barbarian invasions, they form a central fact in medieval history.
