Knights & Crusades
As I mentioned I am reading DEVIL'S BROOD which is packed full of interesting bits of history. It is interesting that Eleanor's sons were knighted so late, the politics is very interesting to becoming a knight and what it meant. Also the whole crusades events affected so many things. I seem to have a number of ancestors who fought in the crusades and am compiling a list of references so I can see if I can find out more about them and their escapades, so far I have the following of which additions/corrections are appreciated (not interested in fiction, enough of that going around in genealogies now). Thanks, Jim.
