There are quite a few facts in this book of fiction. The Catholic church definitely carried on a campaign against the old pagan folk beliefs. This was done over a period of several centuries from the time that Constantine adopted Christianity through the campaigns against witches (which continued under protestants in the Salem witch trials). The fourth and fifith centuries correspond to the time when orthodox Christianity (the Catholic church) was trying to fight both the Arians of Spain, but also the pagans of northern Europe and Germany. The number of people killed during these pogroms ishard to determine accurately.

They were only decent in terms of training, but they had three things going for them. They had power in sheer numbers (there was no way to get out of being drafted), and they had the weather on their side which they knew how to deal with. Not to mention, they fought the war on their home territory which is always adventageous from a strategic point of view.

ditto to the previous answer. In addition, the British hired pirates to tango with the Spanish. While these were not large-scale skirmishes, it meant that a lot of their attention was diverted prior to their big defeat. Probably the major preoccupation was dealing with these pirates that took gold and currency as opposed to defeating the British.

Excerpt from Wikipedia article:\n\nThe Crusades were a series of several military campaigns—usually sanctioned by the Papacy—that took place during the 11th through 13th centuries. Originally, they were Roman Catholic Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, but some were directed against other Europeans, such as the Fourth Crusade against Constantinople, the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars of southern France and the Northern Crusades.

The Trojan War was a war waged, according to legend, against the city of Troy in Asia Minor by the armies of the Achaeans, following the kidnapping (or elopement) of Helen of Sparta by Paris of Troy. The war is among the most important events in Greek mythology and was narrated in a cycle of epic poems of which only two, the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer, survive intact. The Iliad describes an episode late in this war, and the Odyssey describes the journey home of one of the Greek leaders, Odysseus. Other parts of the story, and different versions, were elaborated by later Greek poets, and by the Roman poet Virgil in his Aeneid
