They had come, by the standards of the age, an astonishing distance. Many of the men who now looked at the shore had left their homes in northern and southern France, in Lorraine, in Normandy and in Italy some months earlier, and they had been fed and ferried across the Bosporus by an emperor who had asked the West for soldiers and received a flood.
