A letter from Stephen, Count of Blois and Chartres, the French crusader, to his wife,

March 28, 1098.

You may know for certain, my beloved, that of gold, silver and many other kind of riches I now have twice as much as your love had assigned to me when I left you. For all our princes, with the common consent of the whole army, against my own wishes, have made me up to the present time the leader, chief and director of their whole expedition.
