Albert of Aachen's History of the Journey to Jerusalem presents the
story of the First Crusade (1095-1099) and the early history of the
crusader states (1099-1119). Volume 1, The First Crusade, is a long
and richly detailed account of events well known from the reports
of participants, such as Fulcher of Chartres, Raymond of Aguilers
and the anonymous author of the Gesta Francorum, but told from a
strikingly different perspective. Albert did not go on crusade
himself, but gathered reports and anecdotes from those who did, and
wove them into narrative that foregrounds the activities of Peter
the Hermit, Godfrey of Bouillon, Baldwin of Boulogne, and their
followers. His History therefore offers a counter-balance, and
sometimes a corrective, to the established view. Susan B.
Edgington's English translation has been widely praised, following
its first publication in the Oxford Medieval Texts series, and is
here presented with a new introduction and updated notes and
bibliography.
