The participants can be expanded - William doesn't list them all, but other sources do. Adam Bishop (talk) 12:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Srnec - Welf VI is the one (I was confused, William calls him Duke of Bavaria). Also, Jaroslav Folda's book about crusader art has numerous illustrations of the council from the Old French William of Tyre...I can't find any online, but one of those would be a great addition if we can find them.

Do you have page numbers for Hoch and Smail? And are you using the first edition of Smail or the 1995 second edition? Adam Bishop (talk) 07:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
