Description

The Crusaders have taken Jerusalem but they face one final battle.  When the men start to head home, the legend of the First Crusade is born, and a massive new wave of Crusaders heads east.  Not everyone wants to go home however; Godfrey of Bouillon becomes ruler of Jerusalem.  His brother Baldwin manages to take control of Edessa, and one Crusader aspires to be not just a prince, but to take the imperial throne for himself.  Along the way there are devious marriages, murder plots, and total disasters as the Crusaders defend their kingdoms in the east.
