(Retracing and rediscovering Richard's secret journey across the Alps in winter, 'The Troubadour's Song' uncovered for the first time the full story of the arrest of Europe's most powerful king, two thousand miles from home, and the crippling effects of his gigantic ransom. The author, David Boyle recreates here the drama of the Third Crusade and the dynamic power, politics, and personalities of this pivotal era. In chronicling one of the most storied incidents in medieval history, this opens a window on the turbulent late twelfth century when the realities of violence and geopolitics were juxtaposed against certain ideals and courts of love & tolerance.)
