Über die Stämme der Sachsen, Wikinger und Normannen, die das Mittelalter bevölkern, lässt sich vielen sagen und schreiben, eine Sache steht jedoch fest: Ihre Kultur und ihre Lebensweise waren in vielfacher Hinsicht moderner, als uns dies zahllose Schmöker und Filme über die Jahrzehnte vermittelt haben. In diesem Werk wird nun erstmalig ein umfassender Überblick über die Geschichte, die Organisationen, die Waffen und die Kleidung dieser drei faszinierenden Völker geboten.

On 12 October 1492 Columbus discovered the New World. In the following decade a number of Spanish colonies were founded in the West Indies, many of the settlers being ex-soldiers. They were a hardy, adventurous and unruly crew, no longer able to find suitable employment in Europe. They carved a foothold for Spain in the Indies, but quickly became restless in the role of settler. Anxious to avoid the dull work of the administrators and planters, these men began to seek new territories to exploit, once again turning their faces towards the unknown. This title documents both the Conquistadores themselves, and their formidable enemies in the New World - the Aztecs, Incas and Maya.

The ancient warrior code which persisted in medieval Christian Europe dictated that a man's greatest virtues were physical strength, skill at arms, bravery, daring, loyalty to the chieftain and solidarity within the tribe. The primitive Church had been diametrically opposed to such ideals, however by the early 8th century the Church had grown wealthy, and the Saracen invasions of Spain and France posed a threat to that wealth. The Roman Church began to support war in defence of the faith, and by channelling the martial spirit into the service of God, the brutal warrior of the past was transformed into a guardian of society.

Pamphilus wants to marry a woman different than his father has chosen for him. Add in paternal scheming, death bed promises, shipwreck, and other complications, and comedy ensues.
