I'm looking for more works about the Crusades that would have the readability of Thomas Asbridge or even George MacDonald Fraser.

I've read The Greatest Knight and Steel Bonnets by the aforementioned authors, I'm reading Peter Heather's trilogy of books on Rome and the Migration Era, to give you an idea of my interests and what I'm looking for. I'm also about a quarter of a way into Smith's new biography on Rasputin.

I like in-depth contextualizations and cultural overviews like you get of the Germanic tribes in Heather and the reivers in Fraser, and I do like the sort of "off the beaten path" biographies like Asbridge writing about William Marshal.

Right now I have my eye on God's Wolf by Jeffrey Lee and The Faithful Executioner by Joel Harrington, I was wondering how they would stack up to Asbridge's biography of Marshal in terms of historicity and readability for a layman.

And really anything on the knight orders and/or crusades in a broad survey with a good bibliography akin to how Fraser covered the Border Marches would be in my wheelhouse. Also to relieve any concern, I am not interested in or looking for conspiracies or freemasonry or modern myths about the knight orders. Just straight up history.
