Stefan is kept a prisoner by the nomad chief Baybar. He learns how to ride and meets the one-armed Norse knight Knut. When the nomads’ camp is attacked by Frankish knights, Stefan is delighted, but it turns out that these knights are to kill everybody at the camp.
The Crusaders is a five-book epic tale with historical events and persons as its point of departure. The reader gets to know Stefan, a young pilgrim who goes off on a crusade along with his Frankish family.
