The belief in a holy lance seems to massively widespread among First #Crusade chronicles, and modern historians seem to mostly focus on the lone manuscript of Ralph of Caen and modern notions of religion and why it can't be "real," why it can't be THE Lance. #medievaltwitter

Exactly--and yes, that one. For me, the fact that the 4 eyewitness accounts believe seems like a pretty major point... but the fact that numerous NON eyewitnesses writing after the Lance was lost believe in it is perhaps an even more important one.

As much as I am for trying to find out objectively 'true' things about the past, being able to just inhabit the epistemological headspace of your subjects is an important skill. It worked, therefor it was genuine. If it stops working, it's a fake.
