In Crusader Greece: A Tour of the Castles of the Morea

by Eric Forbes-Boyd

This is the story of a search into that fascinating interlude in Greek history when, for some two and a half centuries, medieval romance took possession of classic ground - when French, Burgundian or Venetian barons ruled over Athens and Sparta, over Arcadia and the islands of the Archipelago, and tournaments were held where once the Games were celebrated. A time when the Frankish chivalry of Greece was renowned through Europe, and the brilliant court of William de Villehardouin at Mistra was as famous a school of knightly conduct as Camelot is in the pages of Malory.
