[quote=""Doug""]That cover is hysterical!

Beyond the celibacy issue, didn't the Church prohibit marriages between Christian crusaders and Saracen women back then, unless the woman converted (perhaps at the point of a sword)? Though marriage may be far from this guy's thoughts...

Do not expect realism in a Zebra historial. Ever. Well, maybe the older ones ;)

OMG - he'd not survive a minute off the front of that book cover!
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
