' ... an authoritative statement, written with verve ... Based on a meticulous study of all known charters and combined with the chronicle reports and some poetic accounts of what came to be known as the First Crusade, Riley-Smith conjures a humane, believable and multi-faceted picture of the aspirations and capacities which motivated and enabled some thousands of French fighting men to arrange for their journey to the Holy Land, to provide for themselves and their dependents en route, and to withstand the ounishing rigours of journey and battles.' The English Historical Review
'Whatever they thought, what the First Crusaders did more than justifies our attention.' Early Medieval Europe
Much has been written about the crusades, but very little about the crusaders. What moved them to go? What preparations did they need to make? This book comes up with detailed answers to these questions, and offers the first systematic reading of a large cache of contemporary source-material.
