Geoffroi de Villehardouin (1160 - c. 1212) was a knight and
historian who chronicled the Fourth Crusade. He was considered to
be one of the most important historians of his time. His is the
earliest prose writing to have survived in France. Villehardouin
was the ambassador to Venice assigned to procuring ships for the
voyage to the crusades. In 1207 he began to write his chronicle of
the Crusade, On the Conquest of Constantinople. This work was
memorable in part because it was written originally in French as
opposed to in Latin.
