Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Romance of the Second Crusade Finding themselves confronted by a usurper who had no great talent to recommend him, nor much political strength behind his brilliant personal cour age, their first instinct was to refuse submission to his authority, and to drive him out as an impos tor. It was not until they had been chilled and dis appointed by the scornful coldness of the Empress Queen's imperious bearing that they saw how much pleasanter it would be to rule Stephen than to serve Maud. Yet Gloucester was powerful, and with his feudal retainers and devoted followers and a hand ful of loyal independent knights, he was still able to hold Oxford, Gloucester, and the northernmost part of Berkshire for his sister.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assassins: A Romance of the Crusades It was not the juice of the grape alone that had been given to the Assassins, but spices had been added and also haschisch. The potent drug began to work; dull eyes kindled, a strange exaltation possessed them. Their senses were quickened, they felt their strength swell, and they shrieked their battle-songs, clashing their scimitars on their shields. The visages of many were seamed with scars, which changed color as the wine fired their blood, and they boasted of their wounds, while those who had no mark to point to dyed their forearms in the lees so as to look more fierce.

Book excerpt: This is a novel that takes place in the times of the Second Crusade.The Second Crusade (1147-1150) was the second major crusade launched from Europe. It was started in response to the fall of the County of Edessa in 1144 to the forces of Zengi. The county had been founded during the First Crusade (1096-1099) by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem in 1098. While it was the first Crusader state to be founded, it was also the first to fall.The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other European nobles. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe. After crossing Byzantine territory into Anatolia, both armies were separately defeated by the Seljuk Turks. The main Western Christian source, Odo of Deuil, and Syriac Christian sources claim that the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos secretly hindered the crusaders' progress, particularly in Anatolia, where he is alleged to have deliberately ordered Turks to attack them. Louis and Conrad and the remnants of their armies reached Jerusalem and participated in 1148 in an ill-advised attack on Damascus. The crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a great victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately have a key influence on the fall of Jerusalem and give rise to the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909) was an American writer noted for his many novels. He was born at Bagni di Lucca, Italy. In 1879 he went to India, where he studied Sanskrit and edited the Allahabad Indian Herald. Returning to America he continued to study Sanskrit at Harvard University for a year, contributed to various periodicals, and in 1882 produced his first novel, Mr Isaacs. This book had an immediate success, and its author's promise was confirmed by the publication of Doctor Claudius: A True Story (1883). After a brief residence in New York and Boston, in 1883 he returned to Italy, where he made his permanent home. He also published the historical works, Ave Roma Immortalis (1898), Rulers of the South (1900) renamed Sicily, Calabria and Malta in 1904, and Gleanings from Venetian History (1905). The Saracinesca series is perhaps known to be his best work, with the third in the series, Don Orsino, set against the background of a real estate bubble, told with effective concision. A fourth book in the series, Corleone, was the first major treatment of the Mafia in literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Crusaders, Vol. 2 The rite itself was the preliminary to a state which the inmates of the cloister had renounced for ever. The Abbess's Norman pride of birth, and the real interest which she took in her niece's advancement, overcame all scruples; and the venerable mother might be seen in unwonted bustle, now giving orders to the gardener for decking the apartment with flowers - now to her cellaress, her precentrix, and the lay-sisters of the kitchen, for preparing a splendid banquet, mingling her commands on these worldly subjects with an occasional ejaculation on their vanity and worthlessness, and every now and then converting the busy and anxious looks which she threw upon her preparations into a solemn turning upward of eyes and folding of hands, as one who sighed over the mere earthly pomp which she took such trouble in superintending. At another time the good lady might have been seen in, close consultation with Father Aldrovand upon the ceremonial, civil and religious, which was to accompany a solemnity of such consequence to her family. Meanwhile the reins of discipline, although relaxed for a season, were not entirely thrown loose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Fresh exemplification of what all of us so frequently experience, that the most sagacious and matured arrangements are of little avail; that no one is present when he is wanted, and that nothing occurs as it was foreseen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Saracen, or Matilda and Malek Adhel, Vol. 1 of 2: A Crusade-Romance, From the French of Madame Cottin, With an Historical Introduction Scarcely had he landed on the coasts of Italy when he ran to throw himself at the feet of the R0 man Pontifi'. Pope Urban 111. Received him as aprophet, applauded his design, and commissioned him to announce the approaching delivery of the Ho ly Land. The ardent missionary, his head bald, his feet bare, clad in a coarse gown, travelled over the provinces of Italy and France. Every where on his passage the women, children, and old men, broke out into loud cries the people raised their voice to heaven, to beg of the Almighty to cast a glance on his fat eurite city, and the warriors swore to take up arms and set her free from the yoke of the Infi dcls. In the midst of this general e 'ervescence, the head of Christendom convoked a council at Placentia, to lay before it the interests and the perils of the church. Two hundred bishops, four thousand ecclesiastics, and thirty thousand seculars of all conditions, repaired to that assembly. T he sittings were held in a plain near Placentia. Alex1s' Commenes had sent ambassadors to that coun cil, to demand assistance of the Latin princes against the Mussulmen. They moved all hearts ln speaking of the misfortunes of Jerusalem; they interested, at the same time, the policy of the pun ces, in laying before them the dangers that threaten.
