Read 2 times. Last read September 13, 2019 to September 18, 2019.

Incredible reading. (Book 1 of 3 books). This the story of the fictional character who became the great crusader Arn de Gothia with the Knight's Templar. Based on historical facts
In book 1 Arn is sent to a monastery where he learns the obvious ie Latin and religious lessons; including being able to reason. In addition he learns practical skills: horse riding, swordsmanship, long bow and arrow, smithing, gardening, building...and his faith is devout.
Eventually he is excommunicated and becomes a knight templar.
Unputdownable. Great prose.
Now racing through book 2.
