Drogo of Nesle, a relative of Ralph, Lord of Soissons, was a knight who joined the army of Emicho, Count of Flonheim.[1] He was one of the knights that survived the violent dispersal of Emicho's People's Crusade army by Hungarian forces during the First Crusade. Later Drogo, along with Clarembald of Vendeuil, joined the forces of Hugh, Count of Vermandois in Constantinople. He later joined the army of Godfrey of Bouillon.
