Fulk of Neuilly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fulk of Neuilly[1] (d. 1201) was a French preacher of the twelfth century, and priest of Neuilly-sur-Marne. He preached the Fourth Crusade
A priest at Neuilly from 1191, he attended the lectures of Peter the Chanter in Paris. He began to preach, and gained a reputation for piety and eloquence. An invitation for him to preach the Crusade came from Pope Innocent III in 1199.
His assiduous enthusiasm in carrying out his mission led to some ugly rumours concerning the usage made of the monetary sums it produced. He died shortly afterwards.
