The time and scene of the noble story are laid in the middle ages during the conquest of Pagan Lithuania by the military and priestly order of the "Krzyzacy" Knights of the Cross. And the story exhibits with splendid force the collision of race passions and fierce, violent individualities which accompanied that struggle. Those who read it will, in addition to their thrilling interest in the tragical and varied incidents, gain no little insight into the origin and working of the inextinguishable race hatred between Teuton and Slav. It was an unfortunate thing surely, that the conversion of the heathen Lithuanians and Zmudzians was committed so largely to that curious variety of the missionary, the armed knight, banded in brotherhood, sacred and military. To say the least, his sword was a weapon dangerous to his evangelizing purpose. He was always in doubt whether to present to the heathen the one end of it, as a cross for adoration, or the other, as a point to kill with. The romance of Sienkiewicz is perhaps the most interesting and fascinating he has yet produced. It is in the very first rank of imaginative and historical romance.

It is in the very first rank of imaginative and historical romance.The Benedictine Abbey at Tyniec was in Poland as important and rich, relatively, as the Abbey of Saint-Germain des Près in France. In those times the order organized by Saint Benoit (Benedictus) was the most important factor in the civilization and material prosperity of the country. The older contained 17,000 abbeys. From it came 24 Popes; 200 Cardinals; 1,600 Archbishops; 4,000 Bishops; 15,000 Writers; 1,500 Saints; 5,000 Beatified; 43 Emperors, and 44 Kings. These figures are material facts showing the importance of the order. About its influence on art, literature and culture one could write a volume. in the inn under "Dreadful Urus," which belonged to the abbey, a few people were sitting, listening to the talk of a military man who had come from afar, and was telling them of the adventures which he had experienced during the war and his journey.

Zbyszko, who was always accustomed to execute all his undertakings promptly, was determined now to act in his uncle's behalf. The following morning, he and de Lorche started for Plock. The road along the frontier, owing to numerous bands of robbers, was always, even in time of perfect peace, unsafe. Those bands were protected and supported by the Knights of the Cross, to whom King Jagiello spoke in severe terms about it. In spite of complaints which were supported in Rome, in spite of the threatenings and severe measures of justice, the neighboring comthurs often permitted their paid soldiers to join the robbers, and actually protected those who fell into the hands of the Poles, while sheltering those robbers who returned with booty and captives, not only in the villages belonging to the Order, but also in the castles. It was just in such murderous hands that many a traveler and inhabitant beyond the frontier were found. Especially children of wealthy parents were kidnapped for ransom. But two young knights with a considerable train composed, besides the hostlers, of about a dozen armed men on foot and horseback, feared no attack. They therefore reached Plock without an accident. There, about one mile distant from the city, they met with the unexpected. There in the inn they met Tolima, who had arrived one day before them. It had happened thus: when the starosta of the Knights of the Cross at Lubowa heard that the deputy had succeeded in hiding part of the ransom at the time when it had been taken from Tolima near Brodnice, he sent him back to that castle with an order to the comthur to force him to show the spot where he had hid the money. Tolima profited by this chance, and escaped. When the knights wondered at his easy escape, he explained to them as follo...

It' s the eleventh century and Islam, born from the sands of the Arabian Desert, has spread from Syria to Spain. Muslims now rule a large part of what was once the Roman Empire. Eude de Châtillon, a monk at the monastery of Cluny, France, does not like what he sees. He leads expeditions to free Spain from its Muslim rulers. When he becomes Pope Urban II, he urges good Christians everywhere to free Jerusalem, and so the crusades begin. As pope, however, he is not able to lead the fight, so he gives authority to Peter the Hermit, a popular priest. At Peter's bidding, thousands of peasants join the crusade, which was named "The Popular Crusade." Fierce battles are fought throughout Spain, the Holy Land, and elsewhere as Christians and Muslims compete for power. The repercussions of this historic struggle are still evident today in the continued fighting in the Middle East; Muslim attitudes about the Western world and memories of the September 11 attacks. Knights of the Cross is the complete report of all the Crusades and a must-read for anyone struggling to understand how religious conflicts of the past have shaped the world today.
