It is an historical tapestry into which is woven the story of how Francis, by his fabulous simplicity, got what he wanted both from the Pope in Rome and the infidel Sultan of Egypt, of how a tough and worldly French knight became King of Jerusalem against his will, of how thousands of the children of Christendom strangely vanished from their homes forever (on the Children's Crusade), of how a Cardinal fought a war in Egypt and because of his obstinacy lost...
