generous sentiments and social offices of man far better than the base
philosophy, or the baser religion, of the times.

[Footnote 42: The author of the Esprit des Croisades has doubted, and
might have disbelieved, the crusade and tragic death of Prince Sueno,
with 1500 or 15,000 Danes, who was cut off by Sultan Soliman in
Cappadocia, but who still lives in the poem of Tasso, (tom. iv. p.
111-115.)]

[Footnote 43: The fragments of the kingdoms of Lotharingia, or Lorraine,
were broken into the two duchies of the Moselle and of the Meuse: the
first has preserved its name, which in the latter has been changed into
that of Brabant, (Vales. Notit. Gall. p. 283-288.)]

[Footnote 44: See, in the Description of France, by the Abbe de
Longuerue, the articles of Boulogne, part i. p. 54; Brabant, part ii.
p. 47, 48; Bouillon, p. 134. On his departure, Godfrey sold or pawned
Bouillon to the church for 1300 marks.]

[Footnote 45: See the family character of Godfrey, in William of Tyre,
l. ix. c. 5-8; his previous design in Guibert, (p. 485;) his sickness
and vow in Bernard. Thesaur., (c 78.)]

[Footnote 46: Anna Comnena supposes, that Hugh was proud of his nobility
riches, and power, (l. x. p. 288: ) the two last articles appear more
equivocal; but an item, which seven hundred years ago was famous in the
palace of Constantinople, attests the ancient dignity of the Capetian
family of France.]

Normani cis. He pawned the duchy for one hundredth part of the present
yearly revenue. Ten thousand marks may be equal to five hundred thousand
livres, and Normandy annually yields fifty-seven millions to the king,

[Footnote 48: His original letter to his wife is inserted in the
Spicilegium of Dom. Luc. d'Acheri, tom. iv. and quoted in the Esprit des
Croisades tom. i. p. 63.]

[Footnote 49: Unius enim duum, trium seu quatuor oppidorum dominos quis
numeret? quorum tanta fuit copia, ut non vix totidem Trojana obsidio
coegisse putetur. (Ever the lively and interesting Guibert, p. 486.)]

[Footnote 50: It is singular enough, that Raymond of St. Giles, a second
character in the genuine history of the crusades, should shine as the
first of heroes in the writings of the Greeks (Anna Comnen. Alexiad, l.
x xi.) and the Arabians, (Longueruana, p. 129.)]
