Cormac Fitzgeoffrey is a fictional character created by Robert E. Howard. He is a half-Norman, half-Gael Knight who is taking part in the Third Crusade.[1] Howard wrote two short stories featuring the character and a synopsis that was later completed by another author. Although Howard was most famous for his fantasy fiction, especially Conan the Barbarian, the Cormac stories have for the majority a purely historical setting, albeit the second one involves Lovecraftian elements.
"Hawks of Outremer" was originally published in the Spring 1931 issue of Oriental Stories"The Blood of Belshazzar" was originally published in the Autumn 1931 issue of Oriental Stories
Howard wrote two complete Cormac Fitzgeoffrey stories and left one unfinished before his death. The character is also mentioned in the story The Sowers of the Thunder, set fifty years later and published in 1932.
"Hawks of Outremer"edit
First published in Oriental Stories (Spring 1931)[2] after being accepted by that magazine in October 1930.[3] "Outremer" (literally, "Oversea") was how the Crusader states were often called.
