Certainty: 3 Battle of Dorylaion, stage 1: army of Bohemond surrounded
The half of the divided army led by Bohemond (including Tancred, Robert of Normandy and Stephen of Blois) was attacked at daybreak near Dorylaion by Kilic Arslan, who had recouped his strength after the battle outside Nicaea, gathering noble allies from 30 days' journey around. His army was all on horseback, and nearly all archers. It is uncertain from the sources whether the attackers realised that they were only dealing with half the crusaders. The Turks were able to surround Bohemond's forces, so that the knights were left free, but the foot-soldiers and non-combatants (including women) were at the mercy of the attackers. Bohemond and Robert of Normandy were marshalling the crusader ranks. Tancred was fighting desperately among the enemy, from where he was extricated, against his will, by Bohemond, who was trying to keep the army together. Robert of Paris and William Marchesius, Tancred's brother, were killed. The over-confident count who had sat on Alexios' throne made an unsuccessful charge. Bohemond found the best available defensive position and sent off a messenger at a gallop to summon the rest of the army, but was losing heavily and close to defeat
