“For we who were Occidentals have now become Orientals. He who was a Roman or a Frank has in this land been made into a Galilean or a Palestinian. He who was of Rheims of Chartres has now become a citizen of Tyre or Antioch.
We have already forgotten the places of our birth; already these are unknown to many of us or not mentioned anymore.
Our relatives and parents join us from time to time, sacrificing. Even though reluctantly, all that they formerly possessed.
Those who were poor in the Occident, God makes rich in this land. Those who had little money there, have countless bezants here, and those who did not have a villa possess here by the gift of God a city.
Therefore, why should one return to the Occident who has found the Orient like this?”
― A History of the Expedition to Jerusalem, 1095-1127
