Historical fiction fans will love today’s feature novel, The Fourth Crusade by Mark Butler. It currently has a 4.1 star rating with 17 reviews. Learn how Christians slaughtered Christians in the pursuit of money, power and perhaps most important of all…Legacy.
A Little About The Fourth Crusade:
The year is 1202 and the Catholic Church rules the hearts and minds of all Europeans. The leader of the Church, Pope Innocent III, issues a summons to every able bodied man and boy: Take up arms and reclaim Jerusalem from the Muslims. In Barcelona, Rayjo de Merafiza is celebrated as a hero of the Third Crusade. But the peaceful life has never been Rayjo’s purpose, and now he must join the Fourth Crusade. Ruggiero is Rayjo’s teenage son and his quiet, passive nature puts him on the path to Catholic priesthood. When he joins his father, his pious teachings are put to the ultimate test. Juan is Rayjo’s younger son and is endowed with his father’s violent, unrestrained temper. As the armies of Christianity gather for the greatest war of their lives, a few powerful men and unfortunate circumstances turn the Europeans away from their intended target and onto Constantinople, the most unlikely of targets. From the streets of Barcelona to the mighty battles in the East, readers will come to understand how the greatest army in the world assaulted the wrong nation.
