More about the book

The twelfth-century Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolomitanorum provides a vivid and detailed account of the First Crusade, highlighting the struggles, heroism, and complexities faced by the crusaders. It chronicles the journey from Pope Urban II's initial call to the chaotic People's Crusade, culminating in the organized efforts of the French and Norman nobles that led to Jerusalem's capture in 1099. This new translation, grounded in recent scholarly research, offers an insightful introduction that contextualizes the narrative, making this pivotal historical event accessible to modern readers.
