"The Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin Through Wales" by Giraldus Cambrensis is a medieval account written in 1191. The work chronicles Gerald of Wales's journey accompanying the Archbishop of Canterbury through Wales in 1188 to recruit crusaders for the Third Crusade. This Latin text provides valuable descriptions of Welsh and Norman culture, offering observations colored by Gerald's unique perspective. Despite his mixed heritage—descended from both Welsh princes and Norman barons—Gerald strives for impartiality in documenting the customs and conflicts he witnesses.
