He assumes Byzantine faithlessness from the beginning, even at the meeting at Etampes in early 1147
Odo of Deuil 12-14
He did not list the names of the French leaders who arrived late via the Italian route, out of distress; he had seen so many of them meet an untimely death
... quia mortes eorum immaturas aspexi. Odo of Deuil 80
He gave an enthusiastic description of Constantinople as Louis 101 reached it: the geographical situation, the main tourist sites, fortifications, market gardens and aqueducts; he discussed the gulf between rich and poor, the crime rate and the beauty of even the small churches
Odo of Deuil 62-66
He wrote all the narrative of the journey of Louis 101, especially after he reached Byzantine lands, from an anti-Byzantine position, disappointed that Constantinople was not attacked; but there is also some justification of Byzantine actions, in view of German, and even French provocation
Odo of Deuil 40-58
He wrote to Suger 101, offering him his history; as Suger had written in a literary way about Louis 103, he should use Odo's simple history to write well also about Louis 101
