The Crusades Trilogy is a series of historical novels written by Swedish author and journalist Jan Guillou about the Consolidation of Sweden and the Crusades. The main character of the trilogy is Arn Magnusson, a fictional Knight Templar in the 12th century, who becomes a witness as well as a catalyst to many important historical events both in his homeland of Västra Götaland and in the Crusader states.[1]
The trilogy consists of the following novels:
The Road to Jerusalem, original Swedish title Vägen till Jerusalem (1998)
The Knight Templar, original Swedish title Tempelriddaren (1999)
The Kingdom at the End of the Road, also called Birth of a Kingdom, original Swedish title Riket vid vägens slut (2000)
There is also a fourth novel entitled The Heritage of Arn (2001), original Swedish title Arvet efter Arn. It is as a direct follow-up to the trilogy, depicting the rise of Birger Jarl, who came to rule during the formation of Sweden and is the supposed founder of Stockholm. In Guillou's fictional universe, Birger Jarl is the grandson of Arn Magnusson.
