There are three things you need to become a brave knight. A war horse, a fair maiden and a just cause. William has all three. He has chosen a blood red horse for his steed and named him Hosanna. Although Eleanor is promised to his brother, William and Ellie share a strong bond. And William is off to fight in King Richard the Lionheart's holy crusade to capture Jerusalem. On the other side of the conflict is the Muslim leader Saladin and his young ward, Kamil who becomes Hosanna's owner. As the battle rages, we see both sides of the conflict. |
