During the campaign he became the chaplain of Count Raymond IV of Toulouse, the leader of the Provençal army of crusaders.
[1] His chronicle, entitled Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem, which he co-wrote with Pons of Balazun, ends with the events immediately following the capture of Jerusalem in 1099.
[2] The Historia was probably started as the crusade progressed, possibly just after the discovery of the Holy Lance,[5] and the preface added later.
[1] His account is partial to the Peasants' Crusade and takes a dim view of those who deserted or abandoned the expedition (and their vows).
Compared to other authors of works on the First Crusade, Raymond has a preference for references to the Old instead of the New Testament, using twice as many as his fellow Provencal Peter Tudebode.
