Chronicles of the Crusades

Marzials, Frank T. (Frank Thomas), Sir, 1840-1912 (Added Author). Villehardouin, Geoffroi de, Conquête de Constantinople. English (Added Author). Joinville, Jean, sire de, 1224-1224?-1317? Histoire de saint Louis. English. (Added Author).

Summary: This book features two eyewitness accounts of the crusades: Villehardouin's "Chronicle of the fourth crusade and the conquest of Constantinople" and Joinville's "Chronicle of the crusade of St. Lewis". A pair of engrossing narratives by actual participants, these are among the most authoritative accounts available of the medieval Holy Wars. They recount terrifying scenes from the battlefields that recapture the horror of warfare, and offer invaluable insights into the religious and political fervor that sparked the two hundred-year campaign.
