aug 30, 1096 - Christians march to Syria
Description:
"Bohemond of Apulia... took ship and had a smooth journey to the regions of Bulgaria... They found such abundance of food in Bulgaria that heir corn and their wine increased. From there they descended into the Valley Andronopolis, and waited there until all had made the crossing... They progressed from village to village, castle to castle, city to city... (Roberts, 95)
