Description
Written by Geoffrey of Villehardouin, knight and crusader and therefore eyewitness. The work is written as an epic in the third person. Here, the initial "S" contained a depiction of Foulques of Neuilly preaching about the Fourth Crusade. The detail at the bottom border shows the arrival of the crusaders at Constantinople.
