A note for parents
This is a scholarly academic history by a leading medievalist, not a children's or young adult book. It covers 800 years of religious and political history with intellectual rigor and assumes mature reading skills and historical knowledge. While not gratuitously graphic, the subject matter includes warfare, persecution, and institutional power struggles that are discussed analytically rather than sensationally. This is appropriate for older teens and adults interested in European history and religious studies.
