In fact, at the time of the First Crusade, "journey", and peregrinatio, or "pilgrimage" were used for the campaign we now call Crusade.Templars Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305629667067062801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440738931731819756.post-58822280250299692312023-11-10T11:51:36.396+01:002023-11-10T11:51:36.396+01:00According to ”Aïeul de Marie Isab[elle]de Thulden,...According to ”Aïeul de Marie Isab[elle]de Thulden, douairière de feu Francois Joseph de Crane” the following two Dutch 'Chevaliers' participated in the Crusades:<br /><br />Raijnaut van Beeck Thulden participated in the First Crusade under Godefroij the Bouillon (1092) and against the Turks in 1096.<br /><br />Thirij van Beeck Thulden was said to participate in the Second Crusade and traveled to the Holy Land in 1142.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
