Chronicles of the Crusades(ISBN=9780140449983) fb2 免费 lrf 下载 kindle azw3 pdf 阿里云

　　Two famous, firsthand accounts of the holy war in the

Middle Ages

Originally composed in Old French, the

two chronicles brought together here offer some of the most vivid

and reliable accounts of the Crusades from a Western perspective.

Villehardouin's Conquest of Constantinople, distinguished by

its simplicity and lucidity, recounts the controversial Fourth

Crusade, which descended into an all-out attack on the E astern

Christians of Byzantium. In Life of Saint Louis, Joinville

draws on his close attachment to King Louis IX of France to recall

his campaigning in the Holy Land. Together these narratives

comprise a fascinating window on events that, for all their

remoteness, offer startling similarities to our own age.
