Crusade literature

[Anthony Furze]

Are there any good books you can recommend-literary or otherwise-on, or set during, the Crusades?

Im getting into one of my history reading binges.

Thanks

"The Talisman" Walter Scott

"Knight with Armour" & "Count Bohemond" Alfred Duggan

"Jerusalem" Cecilia Holland


Just to start with.

And, for history,

the last third of Gibbon's "Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire,"

Geoffrey de Villehardouin "Chronicle of The Fourth Crusade and The Conquest of Constantinople"

Great,Whifflingpin! I guessed Scott would be there, but I ve never heard of "The Talisman".

Thanks, I ll keep my eyes open...
