FULCHER (or FoucriEa) OF CHARTRES (Io58-c. 1130)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 292 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FULCHER (or FoucriEa) OF CHARTRES (Io58-c. 1130) , French chronicler, was a priest who was present at the
council
  of Clermont in 1095, and accompanied Robert II., duke of Normandy, on the first crusade in 1096. Having spent some time in
Italy
  and taken
part
  in the fighting on the way to the Holy
Land
 , he became chaplain to Baldwin, who was chosen king of Jerusalem in loo, and lived with Baldwin at Edessa and then at Jerusalem. He accompanied this king on several warlike expeditions, but won more lasting fame by writing his Historic Hierosolymitana or Gesta Francorum Jerusalem expugnantium, one of the most trustworthy sources for the history of the first crusade. In its final form it is divided into three books, and covers the period between the
council
  of Clermont and 1127, and the author only gives details of events which he himself had witnessed. It was used by William of Tyre.
Fulcher
  died after 1127, probably at Jerusalem. He has been confused with Foucher of Mongervillier (d. 1171), abbot of St-Pere-en-Vallee at Chartres, and also with another person of the same name who distinguished himself at the siege of Antioch in 1098.
The Historia, but in an incomplete form, was first published by J. Bongars in the Gesta Dei per Francos (Hanover, 1611). The best edition is in tome iii. of the Recueil des historiens des croisades, Historiens occidentaux (Paris, 1866) ; and there is a French
translation
  in tome xxiv. of Guizot's Collection des memoires relatifs a l'histoire de France (Paris, 18231835).
See H. von Sybel, Geschichte des ersten Kreuzzuges (
Leipzig
 , 1881) ; and A. Molinier, Les Sources de l'histoire de France, tome ii. (Paris, 1902).
