		Guibert de Nogent tells of a monk who made a large incision upon his forehead in the form of a cross, which he coloured with some powerful ingredient, telling the people that an angel had done it when he was asleep.
		Guibert de Nogent, who did not write from hearsay, but from actual observation, says, the enthusiasm was so contagious, that when any one heard the orders of the Pontiff, he went instantly to solicit his neighbours and friends to join with him in "the way of God," for so they called the proposed expedition.
		The most probable reason for his conduct appears to be that suggested by Guibert of Nogent, who states that Alexius, fearful of the designs of the crusaders upon his throne, resorted to this extremity in order afterwards to force the Count to take the oath of allegiance to him, as the price of his liberation.

	Guibert of Nogent
		But Guibert was the abbot of a traditional monastery who was personally deeply devoted to the cult of the saints.
		On closer examination, his work is not the work of a proto-rationalist or an iconoclast, but rather of a cleric who is very concerned to impose the veneration of saints' relics by the laity to clerical supervision.
		Guibert wrote in an extremely convoluted style; his Latin is marked by lengthy sentences, periodic construction, complex dependent clauses, rhetorical questions, and subtle (not to mention parenthetical) allusions.

	Medieval Christian (Dis)identifications
		Guibert's fullest treatment of this sort is his account of Jean of Soissons, "a Judaizer and a heretic" (II.5; 136).
		While Guibert directly examines the violent behavior and "disgusting" bodies of Christians who violate the boundaries of "proper" behavior and body, he keeps the Jews who are their accomplices largely unrepresented, relegated to auxiliary roles.
		The Eastern church, the spawning ground of "heresies," is in Guibert's view susceptible to Muslim attack because in many ways it is itself already "perversely" like Islam: Guibert notes, for instance, that the Greek Emperor has ordered each family to prostitute one of its daughters and to castrate one of its sons.

		Guibert again adds material not to be found in the Gesta Francorum: one story involves the false stigmata of an abbot, another the martyrdom of a man know personally by Guibert.
		Guibert now tells a story about a man who defeated the Devil, then attacks Fulker of Chartres for his style, for his story about Pirrus betraying Antioch, and for his rejection of the authenticity of the Lance.

		A far more noticeable correction, however, was the result of Guibert's determination to correct the style of his source: A version of this same history, but woven out of excessively simple words, often violating grammatical rules, exists, and it may often bore the reader with the stale, flat quality of its language.
		In the seventh and last book, Guibert tells the story of the woman and the goose, again to ridicule the foolishness of the poor: A poor woman set out on the journey, when a goose, filled with I do not know what instructions, clearly exceeding the laws of her own dull nature, followed her.
		At the end of Book One, Guibert insists that Bohemund, the major military figure in his history, was really French: Since his family was from Normandy, a part of France, and since he had obtained the hand of the daughter of the king of the French, he might be very well be considered a Frank.

		After playing a conspicuous part in the Church politics of 1106 and succeeding years, he retired again to the peace of his abbey, wrote several books of great value, and died between 1121- and 1124.
		Guibert's writings seem to provide evidence of such processes - for instance in his relationship with his mother, his sense of sexuality, and his sense of his own self..
		My mother, while yet scarce of marriageable age, was given to my father, then a mere youth, by my grandfather's provision, Though intelligence was written plainly on her face, and nobility shone through the natural and decent gravity of her features, yet from her earliest childhood she conceived the fear of God's name.

		On November 27, Urban spoke for the first time about the problems in the east.
		Guibert of Nogent also recorded that Urban's emphasis was reconquest of the Holy Land, but not ncessarily to help the Greeks or other Christians there; Urban's speech, in Nogent's version, said that the Holy Land must be in Christian possession so that prophecies about the end of the world could be fulfilled.
		Urban's own letter does not mention Jerusalem at all; he only calls for help for the Eastern Churches, and appoints Adhemar of Le Puy to lead the Crusade.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gesta Dei Per Francos
		In the eleventh century the name of "Frank" was applied in a general manner to all the inhabitants of Western Europe, being a survival of the political unity established by the Carolingians for the benefit of the Franks.
		Hence the crusade was, for the men of the eleventh century, merely the crowning of that alliance between God and the Franks, and after the discourse of Urban II at Clermont, it was to the cry of "God wills it!" that all made haste to take the cross.
		Guibert, born in Picardy about 1053, was a monk at Saint-Germer-de-Fly, elected Abbot of Nogent-sous-Coucy in 1104, had been a witness of the enthusiasm aroused by the preaching of the crusade, perhaps he had even assisted at the Council of Clermont.

		Just a foretaste: a priest is killed by a young boy with whom he had become "too familiar," a bishop has his African slave poke out the eyes of his enemies, and a local nobleman indulges in cutting open the throats and bellies or chopping off the feet c:f his captives.
		Guibert of Nogent certainly had Augustine of Hippo's famous Confessions in mind when he set out to recount his life in the form of a confession both of his sins arid God's ever-greater grace.
