Truth is stranger than fiction. Because fiction has to make sense…

Reading of Crusader Knights in the Holy Land.

Of the demise of Count Henry of Champagne (1166-1197) & later King of Jerusalem, this leapt out at me.

“Henry was reviewing German Crusaders at his palace in Acre when, distracted by his dwarf, he stepped backwards out of a window”.
