Against the Infidels

audioboek


"Against the Infidelsā€ is Fulcher of Chartres eyewitness account of Pope Urban IIā€™s call-to-arms in 1095. This speech launched the First Crusade, but the several historical transcripts record it slightly differently. Fulcherā€™s account includes a section in which Urban assures crusaders they would be granted redemption from sins in exchange for their service. His is considered the most definitive eyewitness record of the speech, in contrast to Robert the Monkā€™s more dramatic interpretation of the event.
