Peter Tudebode

Peter Tudebode was a Poitevin priest who was part of the First Crusade as part of the army of Raymond of Saint-Gilles. He wrote an account of the crusade, Historia de Hierosolymitano itinere, including an eye-witness account of the Siege of Antioch, edited in volume 155 of the Patrologia Latina.

The anonymous Gesta Francorum and Tudebode's account share similarities and there are disputes among scholars as to their relationship. Historian Jay Rubenstein (2005) suggests that both derive from a lost common source.
