Gauthier Without Having(? - 1096)

Gauthier-sans-Avoir is the lord of Poissy. As his name suggests, this knight has no great seigniorial duties, which pushes him to participate in the crusades. He led part of the popular crusade which was massacred before reaching Constantinople. Most of his companions were killed before reaching Byzantium and he himself perished in an ambush by the Turks near Nicaea.
