Abstract

for example, when he turned to the subject, argued that the Christian forces of the First Crusade 'can be divided into three classes, the principes or maiores, the minores or mediocres and the plebs or populus.' 1 He de ned minores as the 'great lords, castellans and petty knights' beneath the ranks of the senior princes and repeatedly utilised the term minores for a sustained investigation of those of the nobility on the First Crusade who were just below the level of the senior princes.
