An other Council he held at Cleremount in France. Where among other things the bishop made an Oration to the Lords,1 being there present concerning the voyage & recovering of the holy land from the Turks and Saracens. The cause of which voyage first sprang by one Peter a monk or Hermite, who being in Jerusalem, & seeing the great misery of the Christians under the Pagans, made thereof declaration to Pope Urbane, & was therein a great solicitor to all christian Princes. By reason whereof, after the foresaid Oration of pope Urbane 30000. men (taking on them the sign of the cross for their cognisance) made preparation for that voyage,2 whose Captains were Godfrey Duke of Loraine with his two brethren, Eustace, and Baldwin, the bishop of Pody, Bohemund duke of Puell and his nephew Tancredus, Raymund Earl of S. Egidius, Robert Earl of Flanders, and Hugh le Grand, brother of Phillip the French king. To whom also was joined Robert Courthoyle duke of Normandy, with divers other noble men, with the foresaid Peter the Deremite, who was the chief causer of that voyage.
