Шаблон:Italic title The Gesta crucigerorum Rhenanorum[1] ('Deeds of the Rhineland Crusaders')Шаблон:Sfn is an anonymous Latin eyewitness account of the Fifth Crusade written by a cleric from Neuss who travelled with a fleet from the Rhineland.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It covers the period 1217–1219 and was written shortly after the capture of Damietta. It ends with the return of the Rhenish crusaders and does not describe the disastrous end of the crusade.Шаблон:Sfn
The text is divided into seven sections. There is an English translation of the first part covering the siege of Alcácer do Sal.[2] Georg Waitz suggested that the Gesta was written by the same Goswin who wrote the Carmen de expugnatione Salaciae, a poem about the siege of Alcácer.Шаблон:Sfn Unlike the Carmen, the Gesta does not report any miracles in connection with the capture of Alcácer.Шаблон:Sfn The Gesta is especially valuable for its report that at the time of the decision to attack Alcácer in the summer of 1217, it was known among the crusaders that King Frederick II of Germany would not be departing on crusade that year.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
