Templars, Crusades and the Middle Ages The following is a very limited selection of the really outstanding books on the topics covered. Historical Sources     Barber, Malcolm, The New Knighthood: A History of the Order of the Temple     Howarth, Stephen, The Knights Templar     Robinson, John, Dungeon, Fire & Sword: The Knights Templar in the Crusades     Joinville & Villehardouin, Chronicle of the Crusades     Milger, Peter, Die Kreuzzüge: Krieg im Namen Gottes     Laduric, Emmanuel Le Roy, Montaillou     Edbury, Peter W., The Kingdom of Cyprus and the Crusades, 1191 - 1374     McKisack, May, The Fourteenth Century, 1307 - 1399     Ward, Jennifer C., English Noblewomen in the Later Middle Ages     Coss, Peter, The Knight in Medieval England, 1000 - 1400     Keen, Maurice, English Society in the Later Middle Ages, 1348 - 1500     Mertes, Kate, The English Noble Household, 1250-1600         Novels Perhaps because there are almost no first-hand accounts accessible to us today, the novels are (or seem to be) more credible and believable. There are a great number of historical novels on the market that are set in medieval times and cover this subject matter. I highly recommend the following authors:     Sir Thomas Malory, Morte d'Arthur, first published 1485.     Robert Shea, and his All Things are Light/Das Kreuz und die Laute.     Maurice Druon, and his excellent histories/novels on France in the 14th century, starting with Die Fluch aus dem Flame.     Sharon Kay Penman, all her books but particularly The Sunne in Splendour.
