Background















<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Born in 1171, Rulf of Humber, was a peasant born to parents Walter and Matilda. Rulf lived a simple life during the first three decades of his admittedly droll existence. Sowing, ploughing, and reaping the land under the watchful eye of a benevolent lord was as good of a life that a serf could expect, but Rulf always wanted to accomplish more with the time that God had given him. Thus, when Pope Innocent III called upon the brave men of Europe to join him in the Fourth Crusade, Rulf abandoned his lord and took up arms in the name of the Christian world. Rulf made a name for himself during the sack of Constantinople when he felled twelve Varangian mercenaries with his trusty pitchfork and personally burned down the Library of Constantinople. Sharing in the glorious loot of approximately 900,000 silver marks, Rulf retired a rich man.
