that is to saye chiefe Princes and Capitaines in battaile The Sarracens haue made irruptions into Italy Spaine France spoiling all y euer they could wasting burning bearing away innumerable spoiles But how miserably y Church of christ was torne in péeces how much christian blood shed in so many prouinces duringe the space of so many yéeres it is impossible to set foorth in woordes For at length y Sarracens were driuen out of Spayne by Ferdinande y great the yere of Christ 1487 out of Affrica they were expulsed the yéere of Christe 1517. but the Turkes succéeded in their place for Selimus emperour of y turks slew and draue y Sara out of Affri Hervnto also apperteineth that miserable slaughter wherin there was an vnspeakable déele of blood sheden which is commonly called the Holly warre wherin the Christians went about to recouer Ierusalem and the holly sepulcher of the Lorde out of the Sarracens and Machometans handes whereby they brought none other thinge to pas but béeinge not able to obtaine the sepulcher they hastned thēselues to their owne graues and destructiō through their vnfortunate warre brought the miserable Christians of the East into hatred great daunger and persecution so y welnigh they lost all y was remaininge But to the intent that this great gréeuous longe and cruell persecution which the Sarracens haue exercised against the Christians may bée the better knowen I mean to declare y who le discourse of the warre In the yéere of Christe 1. 84. there came out of the East a certen Anchor whom historiographers do call Peter the Heremite The same filled the eares of princes and men of all other sortes declaring vnto them the miserable state of the Christians in the East whom y Machometan Sarracens oppressed with wofull tyranie and verie mutch molested wherfore that it was right néedfull for the Christians in the west to haue some care ouer them and gatheringe an armie both to ouercome the Sarracens and release the Christians Shortly after vrban y ii being Pope and schollar to Gregory the seuenth called togither a counsel at Claromōt in France wherin it was decréed that the christians with all their power should make warre vppon the Sarracens take Ierusalem and the holy Sepulcher and so delyuer the Christians from their tyrrannye This counsell was pernicyous and hurtfull to the Christian commonwealth and had the very same end with the counsel which is described in the firste booke of Kinges the last Chapter For al things were vnfortunate and the Christians were not only not released from the tirannie but most part of them slayne afterward oppressed and afflicted more gréeuously then before And albeit many holy and good men vpon a vertuous zeale yéelded themselues and consented to the warre yet lacked it the foundation of Gods worde whiche shoulde haue commaunded them to take Ierusalem and the holy Sepulcher from the Sarracens and to take in hande so great and dangerous a warre For although they atchiued sundri noble aduentures and possessed manye places yet was there no constant Fortune as to holde that which they had takē or to establish peace for the oppressed christians The byshops also in their counsells touching this warre gaue but euell counsell vnto Princes and many other godly christians as they haue done also in manye other matters Other deceits and troubles which wer annexed hereto for breuytie sake I omit at this present The Claromont counsell was holden the yéere of Christ 1095. After the Claromont counsel immediatly began Peter y heremits war who ledyng foorth with hym certen thousandes which voluntarely offred themselues in this expedition marched through Hūgary into Asia but atchiued ther no noble exploit worthy of memorye And this was the first vnluckie iourney Shortly after two rashe and troublesome priestes whom Historicians call Volcomar and Goddeschar hauynge gathered an vnfit multitude of the common people began the second expeditiō into Asia But when they were come into Hungarie spoylyng althynge rebyng and vsing themselues disordinatly so y the Hungariās iudged them worse then they vnbeléeuyng Sarracens they gathered an army and slew those lewde pilfring varlets In the yere of Christ 1096.
