Frisin gen, l. ii. c. 31, in Muratori, Script. Rerum Italicarum, tom.
vi. p. 665 666.]

[Footnote 381: The narrative of the first march is very incorrect. The
first party moved under Walter de Pexego and Walter the Penniless: they
passed safe through Hungary, the kingdom of Kalmeny, and were attacked
in Bulgaria. Peter followed with 40,000 men; passed through Hungary;
but seeing the clothes of sixteen crusaders, who had been empaled on the
walls of Semlin. he attacked and stormed the city. He then marched to
Nissa, where, at first, he was hospitably received: but an accidental
quar rel taking place, he suffered a great defeat. Wilken, vol. i. p.
84-86--M.]

[Footnote 39: The old Hungarians, without excepting Turotzius, are ill
informed of the first crusade, which they involve in a single passage.
Katona, like ourselves, can only quote the writers of France; but he
compares with local science the ancient and modern geography. Ante
portam Cyperon, is Sopron or Poson; Mallevilla, Zemlin; Fluvius
Maroe, Savus; Lintax, Leith; Mesebroch, or Merseburg, Ouar, or Moson;
Tollenburg, Pragg, (de Regibus Hungariae, tom. iii. p. 19-53.)]

[Footnote 391: Soliman had been killed in 1085, in a battle against
Toutoneh, brother of Malek Schah, between Appelo and Antioch. It was
not Soliman, therefore, but his son David, surnamed Kilidje Arslan,
the "Sword of the Lion," who reigned in Nice. Almost all the occidental
authors have fallen into this mistake, which was detected by M.
Michaud, Hist. des Crois. 4th edit. and Extraits des Aut. Arab. rel. aux
Croisades, par M. Reinaud Paris, 1829, p. 3. His kingdom extended from
the Orontes to the Euphra tes, and as far as the Bosphorus. Kilidje
Arslan must uniformly be substituted for Soliman. Brosset note on Le
Beau, tom. xv. p. 311.--M.]

[Footnote 40: Anna Comnena (Alexias, l. x. p. 287) describes this as a
mountain. In the siege of Nice, such were used by the Franks themselves
as the materials of a wall.]

"To save time and space, I shall represent, in a short table, the
particular references to the great events of the first crusade."

[See Table 1.: Events Of The First Crusade]

None of the great sovereigns of Europe embarked their persons in the
first crusade. The emperor Henry the Fourth was not disposed to obey
the summons of the pope: Philip
