English The Deeds of God Through the Franks Produced by Michael Pullen "The Deeds of God Through the Franks" by Guibert of Nogent is a historical account composed in the early 12th century, specifically during the first decade of that era. This work focuses on the events of the First Crusade, particularly the period from 1095 to 1099, and highlights the spiritual and military accomplishments of the Crusaders, while also delving into the complexities of religious beliefs and the motivations behind the expedition. As a prominent chronicler of his time, Guibert’s writing not only aims to provide a detailed narrative of the Crusade but also to assert the providential nature of these events. The opening of the book presents an extensive exploration of the historical context surrounding the First Crusade, emphasizing the influences that led to the call for the Crusade by Pope Urban II. Guibert introduces the key players involved, including both notable leaders and lesser-known figures, while reflecting on their motivations and experiences. His tone is both critical and celebratory, as he grapples with the contradictions of faith and the motivations of the participants, while also actively engaging with other historical accounts to assert the superiority and significance of his narrative. The beginning sets the stage for a complex portrayal of a defining moment in medieval history, blending personal anecdotes with broader historical analysis.
