I wish I was tired of the constant
Muslim attacks when the
voice that a great cross principle
was on the way the citizens asked
to his governor foxes who invite
Balduino to come to his aid
the governor of the city was a
Christian Armenian called forums but
still weak elderly children so
an unusable boss was not
capable of protecting its citizens and
injustices and to provide them with
some of the danger of attacks
those damn infidels the help of
balduino would have a price
would protect edesa from the turks
in exchange for the keys to the city
sera promised naively
to become the new governor but
only after his death
the old man sealed his own destiny
will adopt balduino as his son
Balduino could not be expected to
natural death of health bulls
and found no perverse counselors in that
I'm a traitor, they worked alongside
he murdered forums and he
they promised to deliver you to sera

he went down the tower but
immediately the killers
shot and fell in the middle of the street

carried in a spear through all the
neighborhoods of the city so that people
make fun of this is not
a good beginning for the ideology of
the crusade the idea that Christianity
is going to save his brothers from the East
the threat of Islam is not happening
for a good time
the reality is that balduíno has arrived
with a view to achieving their
own territory and I think it is
prepared physically and politically to
to remove a Christian from power and power
to achieve its goal if there were no
Islam existed in that world and only
there would have been eastern Christendom
that existed prior to the
Islam would have happened exactly
