"The Jerusalem History by Fulcherius is the main source for the story of the First Crusade. The author of this work, the French priest Fulcherius, was a member of the retinue of one of the crusader leaders, Baldwin of Boulogne, brother of Gottfried of Boulogne. From the first days Fulchery was in the center of events: together with Baldwin, he participated in the expedition to Edessa, witnessed the founding of the county of Edessa - the first of the crusader states. When Baldwin became the head of the newly formed Kingdom of Jerusalem, Fulcherius, his confessor, found himself at the very pinnacle of power, participating in and witnessing the events that followed the First Crusade. An astute and subtle thinker, Fulcherius details the history of the formation of the Crusader states in the Holy Land up to the 1920s of the 12th century. In The Jerusalem Story, the author managed to portray in color the feelings of Western Europeans, who for the first time encountered the Middle Eastern world, known to them only through the stories of pilgrims.
