"Either a goatherd and his flock have wandered onto the battlefield, or our enemy are standing over there."
Antonnio the Lewd - Seige of Ajaccio 1176
I thought that was rather amusing.
BTW: Have you noticed the profanity utterred by the pilgrims in battle, not sure its very christian and they all seem to come from London.
I never use pilgrims.
I think it could use some more quotes from Matevos Urhayetsi (Matthew of Edessa in English). His histories sound poetic.
From the French: "And so at the last I say this to the enemy general-- GOD'S BUM! I have dropped my last bottle. "Bugger," as the English say. Oh, someone's going to pay for this. To battle!"
