Recenzje

"Murray’s biography is the first in any language on Baldwin of Bourcq, a man who rose from humble origins as a knight to become the King of Jerusalem and, for a brief period, the temporary ruler of much of the Latin East. Baldwin of Bourcq had a remarkable career, and Murray’s highly detailed and enjoyable volume is a remarkable work ideal for scholars, students, and the general reader alike."
-Stephen Donnachie, Royal Studies Journal
