"In the year 1095 of our Lord's Incarnation a great council was held in France...Disturbing news has emerged from Jerusalem... and is now constantly at the forefront of our minds: namely the race of Persians, foreign people and a people rejected by God... has invaded the lands of those Christians, depopulated them by slaughter and plunder and arson, kidnapped some of the Christians and carried them off to their own lands and put others to a wretched death" (Robert, 79).
