GODFREY MEETS THE REMAINS OF THE ARMY OF PETER THE HERMIT

As the Crusaders advanced across the plains of Bithynia, they saw, seeking refuge in their tents, several soldiers of Peter's army, who having escaped the swords of the Sacarens, had lived concealed in the mountains and forests. They were clothed in the rags of misery, and with lamentations and tears related the disasters of the first army of the Christians. On the east they pointed to the fortress in which the companions of Rinaldo, pressed by hunger and thirst, had surrendered to the Turks, who had massacred them all. Near to that they showed them the mountains, at the foot of which had perished Walter and his army. There the Christians had been suprised by the Mussulmans at the moment their priests were celebrating the sacrafice of the mass. - Book II
