Blood and guts, but in a chivalric way! October 4, 2000
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am studying the famous French King Charlemagne, and was directed to this poem which I enjoyed a great deal. It requires quite a lot of concentration, but once you are into it it is quite absorbing and has enough gory battle scenes, political wranglings and double-crossings to keep you quite happy throughout. The only downside is that the real event which inspired this poem did not happen at all like the book tells us it did. Still, that doesn't really matter - it's still an enjoyable glimpse at those famous knights in shining armour.
