Note 159 — BOOK IV.
William Robson translation
This fact, which Tasso has mixed with some fictions, is related by Raoul de Caen, Gesta Tancredi, cap. 112. The same historian adds that Tancred met upon the Mount of Olives a hermit who was born in Normandy, and who had been the enemy of Robert Guiscard and his family. This hermit welcomed the Italian hero with respect, and showed him the places around Jerusalem the most venerated by pilgrims.
