Acknowledgements

This book would have been impossible without the

entirely superior work of Sir Steven Runciman, to

whose magisterial history this slight thing is vastly

indebted.

On a personal and professional level, thanks are due

to the immeasurable support given by my family (par-

ticularly Joshua and Caspar); Francis Cleverdon; John

Shire; my editor, Nick Rennison; and fellow-traveller

and greyhound-enthusiast, Sean Martin. Belated

thanks also go to John Parish for his help in a previous

work to the Crusades, one no less bloody and ulti-

mately as unsuccessful, but one that would have been

far less enjoyable without his contribution.

For the second edition, I would like to – in addition

– thank the following: Parveen Adams, Paul Baggaley,

Ian Brereton, Suparna Choudhury, Mark Cousins,

Paul Gibson, Dale Grundle, Terumi Kawasaki, Vicky

Lebeau, David Marriott, Martine Roberts, and

Andrea Ughetto.

All errors are, needless to say, entirely my own –

Deus lo volt .
