BURYING THE DEAD AFTER THE BATTLE OF DORYLAEUM

The day after the victory the Crusaders repaired to the field of battle for the for the purpose of burying the dead. They had lost four thousand of their companions, andthey paid them their duties in tears ; the clergy offered up their prayers for them, and the army honored them as martyrs. They soon, however, passed from funeral ceremonies to transports of the wildest joy. On stripping the Saracens, they quarrelled for their blood-stained habits. In the excess of their delight, some of the soldiers would put on the armour of their enemies, and clothing themselves in the flowing robes of the Mussulmans, would seat themselves in the tents of the conquered, and, with imitative gestures, ridicule the luxury and customs of Asia. Such as were without arms took possession of the swords and crooked sabres of the Saracens, and the archers filled their quivers with the arrows which had been shot at them during the fight. - Book II
