Crusading was one of those activities that didn't generally include a whole lot of women. The whole idea of Crusader Knight historical romance is kind of boggling my mind.
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Bodo the Apostate, a novel set during the reign of Louis the Pious and end of the Carolingian Empire.

[quote=""MLE""]Ah, but the lands they went crusading to were well-supplied with women, weren't they? Who says a romance has to include European women?[/quote]
Hehe, good point although from reading the Ammy reviews the heroine is the niece of King Ferdinand and hero meets her when she rushes into the middle of a battle to escape some bad guy. I read the first one in this *scottish templar series* and it was bad, unbelievably bad.
