SANDALPHON Philip D'All9iney DOROTHY HILL Graduate HERE is a stirring appeal in the story of the Crusades that strikes a re- sponsive chord in the heart of nearly everyone who reads about them. The kings, lords, barons, and especially the knights, who took part in these hard-fought struggles of the Middle Ages, stand out in the most heroic manner before anyone who is familiar with the Crusades. The knights were ideal Chris- tians, sturdy soldiers, and the bravest men that ever fought in any war. All those who passed even a small part of their lives on the battlefield, in an earnest effort to free the Holy Land, deserve the unstinted praise which chivalry, heroism, and loyalty have at all times called forth. Among these valiant knights of the Cross, Philip D'Albiney played no insignificant part. His history is most interesting because of his close relations with several prominent characters and places in history. There is mention of him in several places in English history under the names, D'Albini, D'Aubigny, lJ'Aubigne, and D'Albiney, all of which, as can be proved by his position in history, refer to the same individual. l'erhaps Philip D'Albincy figures most prominently among the signers of the Magna Cliarta in 1215. Ile was one rf the Councillors of King John, and is said to have signed the Great Charter immediately after the King himself. As a Crusader he was equally important, and fought courageously in defense of the Iloly Land. Ile was present in the Iloly City at the time of Frederick II's self-coronation as King of Jerusalem. Again in 1236, Philip came thither as a pilgrim, hilt fell a victim to the plague then raging there. Death, however, which ended his earthly career, was but the prologue to an interesting story in connection with his burial. Philip 's dying wish that he be laid to rest at the foot of the great basilica of the Iloly Sepulchre, with his body leaning against the foundation, was re- spected. llis unusual request was of a piece with his character and tempera- ment. Ile desired to testify that the Church of Christ, for which he had fought so valiantly during life, was none other than the one in which, triumphant, he would sing forever the praises of Cod. As in life his faith rested on his Crucified Saviour, so in death would his mortal remains indicate by their position his belief that the Church is the pillar and ground ef truth. In cfat of mail, with lanee or spear, he had fought the Mohammedan foe, in the lowly garb of a pilgrim he was laid to rest. Seven hundred years have passed since Philip D'Albiney passed from scenes of earthly strife to the silence of the tomb. The centuries, however, have not consigned him to oblivion, for recent excavations near the Basilica of the Iloly Sepulchre in Jerusalem have uncovered his last resting place, which it was deemed advisable to remove to a place of greater security. Shortly after the work preparatory to the transfer was begun, the body of the crusader was found intact. Ilis tombstone, which has for many years been known to exist, has excited considerable interest because of its remarkable Latin inscription. The desire to preserve this relic of crusading days led to the discovery of the body unim- paired by the ravages of time. In Philip D'Albiney, councillor of a king, pre- ceptor of a prince, and intrepid crusader, we find a faith, sublime in its sini- plicity united, we cannot doubt, to lordly Norman blood. page thirty-seven
