Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The crusades were running down, and the English prince Edward took the cross in 1270 to go and help out his fellow Christians in the Holy Land.

#2 The English prince, Edward, was left to defend Jerusalem on his own. He was quickly defeated by the Saracens, and while his wife tried to save him, he had to accept the terms of peace. Another of the long series of crusades had come to an end.

#3 When Edward returned to England in 1274, the people were excited to see him and his wife, Eleanor. They had not taken to Eleanor when she first came to England as a girl bride, but they now welcomed her with open arms.

#4 The coronation of Edward was rushed because he had so many things on his mind. The King’s Bench in Westminster Abbey, where he was proclaimed king, was decorated with marble brought from the Holy Land for the occasion.
