THE CATALAN EXPEDITION TO THE EAST FROM CHRONICLE OF RAMON M

In this book Ramon Muntaner gives us himself, and, with himself, much of his contemporaries, the "nobles and knights and citizens and merchants, captains of ships and sailors and almogavers and soldiers", to whom he appeals to act as one in defence of the integrity of de Crown of Aragon and who stood in fact behind its phenomenal rise in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
