| Looking for historical fiction books with solid story lines similar to gates of fire but set in any of the crusades. Ideally with no fantasy aspect. Any ideas ? |

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The Arn movie is snippets of a (I think) 6 part miniseries made into a single film. The only problem for some folks with the mini series is that reading subtitles for that long can be a chore. there are just snippets about the crusade, but Barbara Tuchman's book "A Distant Mirror, the Calamitous 14th Century" is about a French nobleman who did participate in the Crusades. |

Ms. Tuchman knew her material quite well indeed. What a loss that was. RIP. |

I liked this book. God's Wolf, the story of Reynald de Chatillon and the crusades. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393609693?tag=arfcom00-20 |
