Description

The Second Crusade leaves Europe under the command of two kings, fielding the largest number of men in a generation.  Eleanor of Aquitaine rides with her husband, King Louis VII of France, while Conrad Hohenstaufen leads forces from the Holy Roman Empire.  What follows is not glorious victory, but embarrassment and disaster on an epic scale.  The fingers of blame point in all directions, as the Crusaders learn that the road to Jerusalem is littered with bad decisions -- and bones.
