The "Gesta Francorum Iherusalem peregrinantium" by Fulcher of Chartres is the definitive chronicle of the First Crusade. In this first chapter, Fulcher tells us the real reason the princes of Europe went off to fight in the Holy Land. Was it piety? Or was it two popes, duking it out to be number one? If you guessed "power struggle between popes" you get a cookie, dear listener!
