Chronicum Anglicanum by Ralph Coggeshall. In the same year, Frederick [aged 68], emperor of the Romans, set out on the journey of pilgrimage to Jerusalem, leading in his company seven bishops with one archbishop, two dukes, nineteen counts, three marquises, three thousand knights, and of the rest about eighty thousand. Not wishing to entrust himself to winds and sea, he led his army overland through the territory of Béla, king of the Hungarians, and through the land of Isaac, emperor of Constantinople, then through the land of the sultan of Iconium, where he endured severe attacks with his army, before he captured Iconium and certain other cities of Asia by force of arms. When he came into Armenia, the land of Rupinus de la Montagne, at the river called the Salef, and the greater part of his army was crossing by a ford, he, not bearing the delay of the baggage animals any longer, urged his horse into the river beside the ford, and, falling from his horse, was drowned alone [10th June 1190]. His men drew him onto the bank, disembowelled him, and, after boiling the flesh in water and separating it from the bones, buried the flesh at Antioch. His bones, however, Conrad his son carried with him to Tyre, that the places which he could not visit while living, he might at least visit when dead. But his army was afterwards so scattered by various misfortunes that scarcely five hundred men were found with his son before Acre.

Eodem anno, Fredericus Romanorum imperator iter peregrinationis Hierosolymitana arripuit, ducens in comitatu suo septem antistites cum uno archipræsule, duos duces, comites decem et novem, tres marchiones, tria millia militum et reliquorum circiter octoginta millia; qui nolens se committere ventis et mari, duxit exercitum suum per terram Belis regis Hungariorum, et per terram Ysakii imperatoris Constantinopolitani, deinde per terram soltani de Yconia, ubi graves impugnationes cum exercitu suo pertulit, antequam Yconiam et quasdam alias Asiæ civitates armata manu caperet. Cumque perveniret in Armenia, terra Rupini de la Muntaine, ad fluvium qui dicitur Selef, et major pars exercitus sui per vadum transiret; ille moram summariorum diutius non ferens, misit se cum equo suo in flumine juxta vadum, et corruens de equo solus submersus est. Tractusque in terram sui evisceraverunt eum, carnemque aqua decoctam et ab ossibus separatam sepelierunt Antiochiæ; ossa autem illius Conradus filius ejus secum transtulit apud Tyrum, ut loca quæ vivus non poterat, saltem mortuus visitaret. Cujus exercitus ita variis eventibus postea dissipatus est, ut vix cum filio ante Achon quingenti viri reperirentur.
