Passage: A large number of minor nobles also joined the Crusade and before long, according to Arnold von Lübeck in his Arnoldi Chronica Slavorum, a powerful military host of 60,000, including 7,000 German knights, was on its way. A contemporary chronicler gave a lower estimate of 4,000 knights and an unknown amount of infantry. German historian Claudia Naumann suggested in 1994 that the Crusade had 16,000 men, including 3,000 knights.Bretislaus III, Duke of Bohemia had agreed to join the Crusade at the Diet in Worms on December 1195, and planned to do so, until he fell ill and died on 15 or 19 June 1197. In March 1197 Henry proceeded to the Kingdom of Sicily. The crusaders embarked for Acre, while the emperor first had to suppress an armed revolt in Catania. A force of 3,000 Saxon and Rhenish troops in 44 ships under Count Palatine Henry V and Archbishop Hartwig of Bremen sailed from northern Germany and arrived in Messina in August, where they merged with the emperor's troops and sailed to the Eastern Mediterranean. Still in Sicily, out for hunting near Fiumedinisi in August, Emperor Henry fell ill with chills, possibly from malaria. He died on September 28 before he could set sail for the Holy Land.
Did Henry proceede to the Kingdom of Sicily in the Crustade before or after Bretislaus III died? How many Saxon and Rhenish troops, on average, were on each ship? How many less knights did the contemporary chronicler record than Arnold von Lübeck had chronicled? How many men of the military were not German knights? How many months after Emperor Henry fell ill did he die? How many months after Henry fell ill did he die? How many months after the Duke of Bohemia agreed to join the Crusade at the Diet in Worms did he die? How many months after the Duke of Bohemia died did Emperor Henry die? How many of the 60,000 troops were not German knights? How many of the military host were not German knights? How many years after the Duke of Bohemia agreed to join the Crusade at the Diet in Worms did he die? How many years passed between 1994 and 1197? How many years was Bretislaus III, Duke of Bohemia apart of the crusades until his death? In what year did Emperor Henry fall ill and die, before he could set sail for the Holy Land? In what year did Saxon and Rhenish troops sail from northern Germany to Messina under the command of Count Palatine Henry V and Archbishop Hartwig of Bremen? What happened first Henry setting sail for the Holy Land or falling ill? What happened to Emperor Henry before September 28? What most likely killed Emperor Henry? Where did the combined forces sail to? Who died first, Emperor Henry or Bretislaus III? Who suggested there was the most amount of knights? Whose account included less knights, contemporary chronicler or Claudia Naumann?
