Albert of Aachen's History of the Journey to Jerusalem presents the
story of the First Crusade (1095-1099) and the first generation of
Latin settlers in the Levant (1099-1119). Volume 2, The Early
History of the Latin States, provides a surprising level of detail
about the reign of King Baldwin I (1100-1118), especially its
earlier years and the crusading expeditions of 1101. It offers much
more information than the only other substantial Latin account of
the same events, by Fulcher of Chartres, and where it can be tested
against other narratives, including Arabic and Greek sources, it
proves to be worthy of both trust and respect. 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.
