Famous Men of the Middle Ages

Publisher: Greenleaf Press
Author: Poland & Haaren
$16.95

The stories begin with the tales of the Germanic chiefs who defeated the Romans: Alaric, Genseric, and Theodoric. Then come stories of the famous kings of the Franks: Clovis, Charles Martel, and Charlemagne. The second half of the book includes chapters on Justinian, Mohammed, Harun-Al-Rashid, El Cid, William the Conqueror, Frederick Barbarossa, Tamerlane, Marco Polo, and Joan of Arc. The stories of many of these figures can’t be found for children anywhere else. Don’t just show children pictures of castles; let them read the stories of those who built them and lived in them.

Exclusive to the Greenleaf Press version of this classic – Five new chapters written by Rob Shearer:
Chapter II Augustine of Hippo
Chapter IV Patrick of Ireland
Chapter IX Benedict and Gregory
Chapter XXII Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV
Chapter XXVI Francis and Dominic

Also, the chapter on Warwick the Kingmaker has been substantially rewritten in order to make it clearer (the War of the Roses can be confusing!).
