Description: In his own words, without partisan bias or self-glorification, Robert of Clari recorded his observations of the Fourth Crusade as an eyewitness and participant caught up by events rather than making them. Recording the events of the journey, as well as the sights, miracles, and people that he saw, his account is an important historical and literary, as well as human document.
