I enjoyed writing this.<br /><br />There is a medieval book about a knight who goes to Constantinople, falls in love with a Byzantine princess, and fights against the Ottomans: Tirant lo Blanch. You can find out more the book at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirant_lo_Blanch and read a translation at Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/378<br /><br />It's not quite the story you're asking for, though, which would involve the event that split Western and Eastern Christendom. That crusade would be a fascinating setting for a story!<br />Sue Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725709764785276859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555107255854248187.post-8104765237854176402016-04-11T03:13:18.073-05:002016-04-11T03:13:18.073-05:00Wow, I'm a fan of the Amadis books, but this i...Wow, I'm a fan of the Amadis books, but this is really, really amazing. There should be a story about Amadis heading to the crusaders' siege of Constantinople and torn between loyalty to a beautiful Bizantine princess or to the european nobility - even the period would be matchingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664742059200557646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555107255854248187.post-11558596989467362572015-09-20T04:46:01.123-05:002015-09-20T04:46:01.123-05:00Hello and thank you!
I invented that name because ...Hello and thank you!<br />I invented that name because it seemed to fit within the general style of names in the novel, but those names rarely mean anything. "Amadis" is a real name (another form of the name is "Amadeus" in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), and some names seem to be sort of derived from British names, but most are simply meant to sound exotic -- the events in this book happened long ago and far away.<br /><br /><br />Sue Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725709764785276859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555107255854248187.post-80616073630606485052015-09-19T16:29:07.025-05:002015-09-19T16:29:07.025-05:00Thank you indeed, it is perfect!
