Warriors of Christendom
DESCRIPTION: Warriors of Christendom... This volume tells in exciting and authentic detail the story of four great warlords from the early medieval era. They waged their wars, first with the barbarian tribes of Europe and later with the might of Islam in bitter struggles in Spain and for the Holy Land, to establish the political and military dominance of Christianity throughout Europe and the Middle Ages. These were violent and treacherous times, but the personalities of these four great figures of that period were also influenced by the chivalrous traditions that were beginning to characterise medieval culture. The four leaders were Charlemagne, founder of the Holy Roman Empire; El cid, Champion of Spain; Richard Lionhart, Crusader King and Barbarossa, Scourge of Europe. The lives, legends and legacies of these four outstanding medieval leaders are brought together in this book. Stories of their great exploits and achievements are accompanied by 16 special plates, and nearly 150 photographs, line illustrations and maps.
