Ridiculous! For letters from my brother in far Byzantium say that the Emperor wants not an army, but a few mercenaries! (He went over with the Flemish Count's men, and has forsaken us, preferring Loose Women. My mother fears he has become too fond of Eunuchs.)
And where will we find the numbers for this indefinite occupation of the Holy Land when all of our men have mortgaged their lands and gone to defend Jerusalem? The price of this endeavor will be our own ruin.

Though I would be interested in seeing some of these eunuchs you speak of.
