THE BATTLE OF NICEA

"Then the two armies," says Matthew of Edessa, who speaks of this battle, "joined, mingled, and attacked each other with equal fury. Everywhere glittered casques and shields ; lances rung against cuirasses ; the air resounded with piercing cries ; the terrified horses recoiled at the din of arms and the hissing of arrows ; the earth trembled beneath the tread of the combatants, and the plain was for a vast space bristling with javelins." Godfrey, Tancred, and the two Roberts appeared to be everywhere at once, and carries death and terror into the ranks of the infidels. The Turks could not long withstand the impetous valor of the Crusaders ; they were put to the rout and pursued by the conquerors even to the mountains, which served them as a place of refuge. - Book II
