Watched a great documentary on PBS last night...very entertianing. It covered Saladin and King Richard I during the crusades of 1191 - 1192.
Does anyone know of any good books on the subject of the crusades, or King Richard I?
Requirements:
1. Can't read like a text book. ie: the author should have some flare for keeping the reader interested, instead of slowly killing them with boredom.
2. General Audience. I don't want to feel like I need a PhD in Medieval History to enjoy this book.
3. Accurate, but not overly detailed. Something fairly general maybe a bit on the specific side would be nice.
So...what does that give me?
