In 1099, Western European crusaders, the "Franks," liberated the Holy City of Jerusalem from the Hagarene yoke and founded several Christian—"Latin"—states in Syria and Palestine, known in history as the "Overseas" (Outremer). The "Overseas" kingdom of the "Franks" and its satellites waged a fierce struggle against the surrounding Muslim world, which was unwilling to accept the loss of the Holy Land. During this struggle, the "Franks" periodically formed alliances with various Muslim players in the grand geopolitical game and with the Byzantine Empire, until they finally suffered defeat due to the imbalance of power and their own numerous mistakes. The book by our long-time author, Wolfgang Akunov, is dedicated to the twists and turns of this struggle and the inner life of the "Overseas," in which the spiritual-knightly orders played an important role, the main one being the Order of the Poor Companions (Knights) of Christ and the Temple (Templars).
