Pervyi krestovyi pokhod - Krei O.

Professor of History Auguste Kray collected and summarized the stories and testimonies of the participants of the First Crusade (1096-1099) from the speech of Pope Urban II at Clermont Cathedral to the capture of Jerusalem in a single fascinating narrative. The book presents extensive fragments from the Acts of the Franks, "Jerusalem History" by Fulcheri Shartrsky, chronicles of Raimund Ajilsky, "Alexiad" by Anna Komnin, messages and letters from the times of the campaign. All these testimonies, written by church ministers, knights of the Crusaders, mastered princes and dukes, recreate the spirit of the epoch and introduce the reader to the history of the conquest of Jerusalem, the acquisition of particularly revered relics, as well as legends and traditions of the Holy Land.
