The controversy over the crusade of Frederick II, which has continued from the thirteenth century to our own day, has been complicated by problems with the sources. In this article, the surviving letters of Gerold of Lausanne, Patriarch of Jerusalem and a leading critic of Frederick in the East, are re-examined. Comparison of the two letters, one directed to Pope Honorius III, and the other an encyclical to all the faithful found in the Chronica majora of Matthew Paris, along with internal evidence, supports the view that the latter is a forgery. It is rather the product of later propaganda
