To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They began to insult and ill-treat the visitors to the holy places. The patriarch was interrupted in his prayers, dragged along the pavement by his hair, and thrown into a dungeon. The Christians were murdered and outraged, and treated like the worst of criminals. The Pope, the clergy, the princes, the people of Europe began to be greatly moved. Above all, the preaching of one man stirred the hearts of all. This was a Frenchman called Peter, who had been a soldier, but had become reli- gious. H...e became a hei-mit (more solitary than a monk) and went on the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. There he saw the state of things just described. He came back to Europe full of burning zeal, and resolved to rouse the nations of Chris- tendom to put an end to the disgrace of leaving the sacred places in the hands of the infidel. He had the gift of a fiery eloquence, which works on the heart of the multitude. Wherever he went people gathered in crowds, and listened with sobs and cries. Everyone was glowing with desire to do something in honor of Christ, and to fight against His enemies.
