Additional army or horde of perhaps 20000 adjoined under the counsel of the count of Leiningen (Emico), a third under Gotschalk, a man not infamous for the purity or disinterestedness of his motivcs. Behindhand these came a rabble, it's said of 200000 men, women, and youngsters, anteceded by a goose and a goat or as some have alleged, by banners on which, as symbols of the cryptical faith of Gnostics and Paulicians, the alikeness of these animals was painted. In that vile horde no dissembling was conserved of order or of decency. Sinning freely, it would seem, that beautify might abound, they despoiled and harried the acreses through which they abutted, while 3000 horsemen, channelised by some counts and gentlemen, weren't too dignified to act as their attendees and to apportion their spoil.
