description: This volume tells in exciting and authentic detail the story of four great warlords from the early medieval period. They waged their wars, first with the barbarian tribes of Europe and later with the might of Islam in bitter struggles in Spain and for the Holy Land, to establish the political and military dominance of Christianity throughout Europe and the Middle East. These were violent and treacherous times, but the personalities of these four great figures of the period were influenced by the chivalrous traditions that were beginning to characterisc medieval culture. Warriors of Christendom tracks the careers of Charlemagne, El Cid. Richard Lionheart and Barbarossa.
