Its sources are both oral and classical, and its influence can be seen in translations and versions in Spanish, English, and German. It is a useful reference for scholars in a number of fields, including Old French literature, Old Spanish literature, Medieval German literature, Middle English literature, folklore, history, linguistics, and music history. This third volume includes two branches.The first,"Les Enfaces Godefroi", presents the birth and childhood of Godfrey, the future hero of the First Crusade, and focuses on the Boulogne/Bouillion family. This poem includes the expanded treatment of Ida and a long episode in England concerning Godfrey's older brother Eustace, the future count of Boulogne. The other branch, "Retour de Cornumarant", is a later addition that concerns the Saracen's journey to Europe to assassinate Gpodfrey before he can lead the crusade.
