[Footnote 91: Ensem elevat, eumque a sinistra parte scapularum, tanta
virtute intorsit, ut quod pectus medium disjunxit spinam et vitalia
interrupit; et sic lubricus ensis super crus dextrum integer exivit:
sicque caput integrum cum dextra parte corporis immersit gurgite,
partemque quae equo praesidebat remisit civitati, (Robert. Mon. p. 50.)
Cujus ense trajectus, Turcus duo factus est Turci: ut inferior alter in
urbem equitaret, alter arcitenens in flumine nataret, (Radulph. Cadom.
c. 53, p. 304.) Yet he justifies the deed by the stupendis viribus
of Godfrey; and William of Tyre covers it by obstupuit populus facti
novitate .... mirabilis, (l. v. c. 6, p. 701.) Yet it must not have
appeared incredible to the knights of that age.]

Tancred who imposed silence on his squire, (Randulph. Cadom. c. 53.)]

[Footnote 921: See the interesting extract from Kemaleddin's History of
Aleppo in Wilken, preface to vol. ii. p. 36. Phirouz, or Azzerrad, the
breastplate maker, had been pillaged and put to the torture by Bagi
Sejan, the prince of Antioch.--M.]

[Footnote 93: After mentioning the distress and humble petition of the
Franks, Abulpharagius adds the haughty reply of Codbuka, or Kerboga,
"Non evasuri estis nisi per gladium," (Dynast. p. 242.)]

[Footnote 94: In describing the host of Kerboga, most of the Latin
historians, the author of the Gesta, (p. 17,) Robert Monachus, (p. 56,)
Baldric, (p. 111,) Fulcherius Carnotensis, (p. 392,) Guibert, (p. 512,)
William of Tyre, (l. vi. c. 3, p. 714,) Bernard Thesaurarius, (c. 39,
p. 695,) are content with the vague expressions of infinita multitudo,
immensum agmen, innumerae copiae or gentes, which correspond with Anna
Comnena, (Alexias, l. xi. p. 318-320.) The numbers of the Turks are
fixed by Albert Aquensis at 200,000, (l. iv. c. 10, p. 242,) and by
Radulphus Cadomensis at 400,000 horse, (c. 72, p. 309.)]

In the eventful period of the siege and defence of Antioch, the
crusaders were alternately exalted by victory or sunk in despair; either
swelled with plenty or emaciated with hunger. A speculative reasoner
might suppose, that their fa
