| Summary | "Barbarossa" by Franz Kühn is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the life and exploits of Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, a significant figure in the Holy Roman Empire and a notable leader during the Crusades. It captures the heroism and challenges faced by Barbarossa and his knights, particularly through their adventures during the Third Crusade in an era marked by conflict against the Turks and political turmoil in Europe. The opening of the narrative sets the stage following the Second Crusade, highlighting the disastrous toll it took on the returning knights and their realms. It introduces the character of Conrad of Feuchtwangen, a noble knight, who is anxiously awaited at his castle by his family and retainers after his return from the crusade. The scene paints a vivid picture of both the joy and dread surrounding the aftermath of war, establishing the emotional stakes and intertwining the fates of various characters as they navigate the treacherous landscape of loyalties and battles, setting a dramatic tone for the events that will ensue.
