Was the book you read Edward Rutherfurd's Sarum?

It's one of my all-time favorite books.

I love SARUM too; however, that book was written and published many, many, many decades latter!

I can't remember the title ( but DO still remember the story line well )of the book I mentioned ( the title might be "THE GOLDEN HORDE" or something very like that ) was published in the late 1950s or very early in the 1960s; which is when I read it.
