THE CRUSADERS MASSACRE THE INHABITANTS OF CAESAREA

A short time after, Baldwin besieged Caesarea, a city built by Herod in honour of Caesar. The siege was carried on with vigour ; on the fifteenth day everything was ready for a general assault, and as soon as the trumpet had given the first signal, all the soldiers confessed and received absolution for their sins. The patriarch, clothed in white vestments, with a crucifix in his hand, led them to the foot of the ramparts ; the city was soon taken, and the inhabitants put to the sword. - Book V
