The Boy Knight: a Tale of the Crusades
G. A. Henty
After hearing of the fall of the holy city of Jersualem, King Richard the Lionheart decides to join the Third Crusade. The crusaders want to free the city from the clutches of the powerful Arab leader Saladin, who has conquered it. Cuthbert, a young follower of the Earl of Evesham, and his friend Cnut, join Richard in his quest. On their way to the Holy Land, and back, they must deal with some vengeful Frenchmen, thwart a plot against the King's betrothed, escape pirate corsairs, survive a winter blizzard, and rescue the King! Will the Crusaders recapture Jerusalem? Will Prince John ruin England while Richard is gone? These questions and more will be answered in The Boy Knight by G. A. Henty. Set in the late-twelfth century England, Europe and the Middle East, this book includes more than one-hundred-and-thirty geographical, historical, and explanatory footnotes to aid the modern reader.
