John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem and Emperor of Constantinople

We have released our first digital book – John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem and Emperor of Constantinople, by James Turner. You can buy it now on our Patreon Shop.

John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem and Emperor of Constantinople by James Turner delves into the remarkable rise of a relatively obscure French nobleman who claimed two of the medieval world’s most prestigious crowns. Despite his successes, John’s legacy pales in comparison to figures like Richard the Lionheart. Turner explores John’s ambition, strategic marriages, and political maneuvering, offering insight into the chaotic world of Crusader politics and medieval power struggles. This compelling book sheds light on a fascinating, though often overlooked, figure in medieval history.
