Description

Author: Ralph of Caen

Translated from Latin by Krasimira Gagova

The third book in the Medieval Europe series introduces another medieval hero, Tancred (probably 1076/1078-1112), who was the youngest warlord during the First Crusade. He came from a noble Norman family that quickly rose to royal power in Sicily. Enthusiastic and desperate, believing and plundering, compassionate and ruthless – this is the soldier Ralph of Caen presents to us sometimes more as a literary image than as a historical figure. Gesta Tancredi is not just a historical narrative – it is the ideology of knighthood itself, the modern idea of the new epic hero.
