Editing Godfrey of Bouillon (section)

===Literature and music===
* In the ''[[Paradiso (Dante)|Paradiso]]'' segment of his ''[[Divine Comedy]]'', [[Dante Alighieri]] sees the spirit of Godfrey, together with [[Roland]]'s, in the Heaven of Mars with the other "warriors of the faith".
* [[Pierre Desrey]]'s ''Genealogie de Godefroi de Buillon'', completed in 1499, gives a complete history of the [[Crusades]], starting with the birth of the ''Chevalier au Cygne'' (Knight of the Swan), the ancestor of Godfrey, and ending after the accession of [[Philip IV of France]] (1268–1314). At least six editions are preserved from the 16th century, published between 1504 and 1580.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://users2.unimi.it/lavieenproses/index.php/titres/103-genealogie-de-godefroi-de-buillon-de-pierre-desrey?showall=1&limitstart=|last1=Weill|last2=Suard|first1=Isabelle|first2=François|title=Genealogie de Godefroi de Buillon de Pierre Desrey|publisher=Università degli Studi di Milano|language=fr|access-date=2015-12-22|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043714/http://users2.unimi.it/lavieenproses/index.php/titres/103-genealogie-de-godefroi-de-buillon-de-pierre-desrey?showall=1&limitstart=|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{citation|language=fr|title=La genealogie avecques les gestes et nobles faitz darmes du trespreux et renommé prince Godeffroy de Boulion et de ses chevaleureux frères Baudouin et Eustace |year=1511 |author1=Pierre Desrey|author2=Vincent de Beauvais |publisher=Michel Le Noir|url=http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8600184k}}</ref>
* [[Torquato Tasso]] made Godfrey, as "Goffredo di Buglione", the hero of his epic poem ''[[Jerusalem Delivered]]''.
* A Spanish play entitled "''La conquista de Jerusalén por Godofre de Bullón''" was written in the mid-1580s and known to have been performed in 1586. The play was discovered in the late 1980s by Stefano Arata. It is attributed to and is now widely accepted to have been written by [[Miguel de Cervantes]]. It is an adaptation of Tasso's poem and features Godfrey as an ideal of Christian kingship, possibly as a critical parallel to King [[Philip II of Spain]] (1556–98).
* Godfrey is depicted in [[Georg Friedrich Händel]]'s opera ''[[Rinaldo (opera)|Rinaldo]]'' (1711) as Tasso's "Goffredo".
* Godfrey also plays key roles in the following novels:
** ''The Blue Gonfalon'' by Margaret Ann Hubbard, which follows Godfrey and his men on their journey to the Holy Land. It is told through the eyes of Bennet, Godfrey's squire.
** ''The Iron Lance'' by [[Stephen R. Lawhead]]
** ''Godfrey de Bouillon, Defender of the Holy Sepulchre'', by Tom Tozer.
* Godfrey's sword is given satirical mention in [[Mark Twain]]'s ''[[The Innocents Abroad]]'' (1869).
