Part of a two book series, MORGARTEN,, tells the story of a remarkable battle between the peasant army of the Swiss and the German empire.  The first book, The Forest Knights, tells how Swiss  youngsters were sent on one of the Crusades.  These young  boys spent more than 20 years in Outremer,  being trained by the Knghts to fight.  They were highly trained in horsemanship and fighting with various weapons.  At the beginning of book 1, they are returning to their homeland and learning to fit back in.  In book 2, several of these men work with the peasants to train and equip them to fight armed knights.  There is. A druidic element also present.  It is a truly remarkable story, and one worth reading.
