I write to you today with the fear of being enlisted into the Crusader Army. The Crusaders are a group of Religious warriors that fight in the name of God. They have recently taken over Sicily and are converting all of the Sicilian people into their Religion. If the people refuse to convert Religions then they will be killed.
I have spoken to my cousin who is a part of the Crusader Army and he tells many horrific stories about the battles he fought in. His two best friends were taken as prisoners and months later he found their bodies eaten by scavengers and heads decapitated. I am extremely nervous and I am worried that if i do get enlisted into the Army, I will be killed.
One disturbing piece of news that I recently came across s that they are now forming a Children Crusader Army. I have know idea what our king's reason is to send children to fight against full grown men in battle but i believe that it is completely preposterous. The parents' of the children must be crazy as well as the king for sending the children into battle. I must go now and tend my father's sheep, stay in touch my dear friend.
