More Description
In the early 14th century, a declining Byzantine Empire is incapable of stopping the advances of the Ottomans. Aware that they are nearing defeat, the two Greek emperors contract the services of Roger de Flor’s mercenaries. Without glorifying the Spanish soldiers or demonizing them for their killing sprees among the Greek population, this is a passionate tale from the Greek point of view about a man whose life was so fascinating that it reads like a chivalric romance: action, intrigue, heroics, romance, and warfare.
A principios del siglo XIV, un Imperio Bizantino en plena decadencia es incapaz de detener el avance de los otomanes. Conscientes de que la derrota total se acerca, los dos emperadores griegos contratan los servicios de los mejores soldados de la época: los mercenarios almogávares de Roger de Flor. Sin glorificar a los soldados españoles ni demonizándolos por sus matanzas entre la población griega, éste es un relato apasionante desde el punto de vista griego sobre un hombre cuya vida fue tan agitada que parece por sí misma una novela de caballerías: acción, intrigas, heroísmo, amores y batallas.
