Description ??The Count and the Saint enables the reader to make a fascinating journey through history. The author takes you back to the 11th century when the county of Boulogne was the centre of Western Europe, a region of great strategic and economic importance. The Count of Boulogne, Eustace II, was one of the brave knights at the side of William the Conqueror in Hastings. He is depicted on the famous Bayeux Tapestry. His wife, Countess Ida, was his intelligent companion and ultimately canonized. They were to become the parents of Godfrey of Bouillon, the greatest crusader ever. The author not only tells the story of this remarkable couple, but also takes you on a journey to different places and sites that are connected to Eustace and Ida: from the castle where she was born to the church where her relics are kept, from his home town to the battlefield across the Channel.
