To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sultan of Iconium, drew the heavy German cavalry of Conrad, amongst the rocks, and cut his army to pieces. Nor was the king of France attended with better fortune. When his army was nearly all destroyed, being resolved to die, he contmued to fight, at the head of some lords and gentlemen^ who had collected around him, and had no hopes of preser- vation, except in the approaching night. Left almost alone, in the dark, he climbed a tree, loaded, as he was, with his heavy armour; and thence, t...o the top of a rock. Here, he was attacked, by some Mahometans, with arrows; whilst others ascended the tree, in order to surmount the rock.
But his armour was proof against the arrows; and he made so good use of his sword, cutting off the heads or arms of all who approached him, that, at last, they retired, without knowing it was the king.
The conclusion of the expedition, was, that both Louis and the emperor returned to Europe, with the wreck of a great army; after achieving notiiing further, than a mere visit to Jerusalem.
