Opis

This central and important book reliably presents to us, in one volume, three of the most interesting contemporary accounts of the Crusades. The first is by Richard of Devizes and tells not only of events taking place in the Holy Land but also connects these with what was happening in England at the time. The second account is a work by Geoffrey de Vinsauf on the Third Crusade. The third work is a memoir of Saint Louis, the Crusading King of France, written by Lord John de Joinville.
