Stephen of Blois, also known as Stephen of Chartres and Troyes, was among the richest princes of his age and one of the most educated crusader leaders. His mind, improved by literature and learning, led to his selection as president of the council of chiefs during the First Crusade, where his wealth and wisdom commanded respect among the assembled nobility.
