===Later works through the 18th century=== The popularity of these works shaped how crusading was viewed in the medieval mind. Numerous poems and songs sprung from the First Crusade, including [[Gilo of Toucy|Gilo of Toucy's]] ''[[Historia de via Hierosolymitana]]''.<ref>Derecki, Pawel, "[https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopedia-of-the-medieval-chronicle/gilo-of-toucy-SIM_01142?s.num=11 Gilo of Toucy]", in: ''Encyclopedia of the Medieval Chronicle'', Edited by: Graeme Dunphy, Cristian Bratu.</ref> The well-known ''chanson de geste'', ''[[Chanson d'Antioche]]'', describes the First Crusade from the original preaching through the taking of Antioch in 1098 and into 1099. Based on Robert's work, ''Chanson d'Antioche'' was a valuable resource in helping catalog participants in the early Crusades and shaped how crusading was viewed in the medieval mind.<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia|title=Chanson d'Antioch|encyclopedia=The Crusades – An Encyclopedia|last=Edgington|first=Susan B.|pages=235–236}}</ref> A later poem was [[Torquato Tasso]]'s 16th century ''[[Jerusalem Delivered|Gerusalemme liberata]]'', was based on Accolti's work and popular for nearly two centuries.<ref>Symonds, John Addington (1911). "[[wikisource:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Tasso, Torquato|Torquato Tasso]]" . In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). ''Encyclopædia Britannica''. '''26''' (11th ed.).

"[[wikisource:Ordericus Vitalis (DNB00)|Ordericus Vitalis]]". In Lee, Sidney (ed.). ''Dictionary of National Biography''. '''42'''. London: Smith, Elder & Co. pp. 241–242.</ref> The work was a general social history of medieval England that includes a section on the First Crusade based on Baldric's account, with added details from oral sources and biographical details. The ''Gesta'' and the more detailed account of Albert of Aachen were used as the basis of the work of [[William of Tyre]], ''Historia rerum in partibus transmarinis gestarum'' and its extensions.<ref>Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). "[[wikisource:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/William, archbishop of Tyre|William, archbishop of Tyre]]". ''Encyclopædia Britannica''. '''28.''' (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. p. 677.</ref> The archbishop of Tyre's work was a major primary source for the history of the First Crusade and is regarded as their first analytical history. Later histories, through the 17th century, relied heavily on his writings. These histories used primary source materials, but they used them selectively to talk of Holy War (''bellum sacrum''), and their emphasis was upon prominent individuals and upon battles and the intrigues of high politics.{{sfn|Lock|2006|p=257}}<!-- <ref name="Lock-2006a">{{Cite book |last=Lock |first=Peter |year=2006 |publisher=Routledge, Abingdon |title=The Routledge Companion to the Crusades |url=https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Companion-to-the-Crusades/Lock/p/book/9780415393126 |page=257}}</ref> -->***** Others included in [[Jacques Bongars|Jacques Bongars']] work are ''Historia Hierosolymitana'' written by theologian and historian [[Jacques de Vitry]], a participant in a later crusade; ''Historia'' by Byzantine emperor [[John VI Kantakouzenos]], an account of Godfrey of Bouillon's arrival in Constantinople in 1096; and ''[[Liber Secretorum Fidelium Crucis]]'' by Venetian statesman and geographer [[Marino Sanuto the Elder|Marino Sanuto]], whose work on geography was invaluable to later historians. A biography of [[Godfrey of Bouillon]], ''Historia et Gesta Ducis Gotfridi'' ''seu historia de desidione Terræ sanctæ'', was written by anonymous German authors in 1141, relying on the original narratives and later histories, and appears in the [[Recueil des historiens des croisades#Volume 5 (1895)|RHC]].<ref name=":0" /> The first use of the term ''crusades'' was by 17th century French Jesuit and historian [[Louis Maimbourg]]<ref>Weber, Nicholas Aloysious (1910).
