Beginning with the Prophet Muhammad and the spread of Islam, Wilmot-Buxton sets out how chivalry and pilgrimage led Europe to war in the East. Peter the Hermit, the Emperor Alexios, the siege of Antioch, Saladin, Richard the Lionheart and the later expeditions each have their chapter, told in plain narrative for young readers.
