Hereward: The Bloody Crown: (Hereward 6) - Couverture rigide

1081. And the battle for control of the Holy Roman Empire has begun.

Within Constantinople, three factions will go to any lengths to seize the imperial throne. While outside the city’s walls, two very different but equally ambitious armies gather. To the west, the massed ranks of the most feared Norman warlord of his day; to the east, the Turkish hordes.
