His most famous poem is ''De Bello Troiano'' (''On the Trojan War'') in six books, most of which was written before 1183 , but which was finished after 1184 . When his friend Baldwin , Archbishop Of Canterbury , set off on a crusade to the Holy Land , he convinced Joseph to accompany him. After Baldwin's death in 1190 , Joseph returned home. He immortalized the crusade in his poem "Antiocheis", of which only fragments remain. Several other poems, now lost, have been attributed to him, but there is no way of knowing if they were actually his work. |
