Notes
The men of the Vermandois marched with the subjects of under the colou r s o f t h e ir count , a young prince whose brilliant qualities had been m u c h a d m ired by the court. Proud of being a brother of the king of Franc e a n d t h e f irst of the French knights, he distinguished himself by his b r a v e r y and the ostentation of his manners. He displayed invincible cour a g e i n t h e field of battle, but allowed himself to be too easily overco m e b y f l a ttery, and was wanting in perseverance in reverses. Although f o r tu n e w as not too kind to him, not one of the heroes of the crusade ex h i b i t ed more honourable and disinterested intentions. If he had not mer i t e d b y h is exploits the surname of Great which history has given him, h e w o u l d h ave obtained it for having only listened to his zeal, and for h a v i n g s ought nothing but glory in a war which offered kingdoms to the a m b i t i on of princes and simple knights.
