Count Bohemond

‘One of the best historical novelists of this century’ Times Literary Supplement

Count Bohemond was an actual Norman warrior who carved out his own kingdom in the Middle East–as well as the hero of this compelling novel. History records his meteoric rise from junior member of a Sicilian warlord’s house to conquerer. Along the way, Bohemond challenged the Byzantine Empire and outwitted Crusader leaders. Here is an unrivaled depiction of the tactics of medieval warfare.
