Certainty: 3 Death of Godfrey, advocate of the Holy Sepulchre: the succession
Godfrey, advocate of the Holy Sepulchre, had fallen sick with a fatal disease, for which no remedy could be found. On July 18 he received the Eucharist and died and was buried in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. On his deathbed, he bequeathed Jerusalem to the patriarch, but his closest allies disagreed. Garnier of Grez, who was also dying, refused to fulfil his wishes, but seized and fortified the Tower of David, making excuses about handing it over to Daimbert. He died within five days, but others continued his refusal. All the supporters of Baldwin of Edessa in Jerusalem sent Gunter, Robert, bishop of Lydda and Robert of Rouen with an urgent message that he should come at once to succeed Godfrey. The message was sent in the names of Arnulf of Choques, Galdemar Carpinel, Robert son of Gerard, Radulf of Mousson, Joffrey Godfrey's chamberlain, Wiric Godfrey's butler, Matthew Godfrey's seneschal and Wicher the German. Anna Komnene's alternative is unacceptable: she makes the Latins of Jerusalem offer the throne first to Raymond of Toulouse, but when he equivocated and went to Constantinople, they had recourse to Baldwin from Edessa. Ralph of Caen has an unlikely scene in which Daimbert and Arnulf, with others, leave the choice to Godfrey, and accept his selection of Baldwin

Certainty: 3 Baldwin of Edessa & Joscelin of Courtenay were defeated & captured at Harran
Ralph of Caen claims that Baldwin and Bohemond (but not Tancred) were marching carelessly, and were attacked as soon as they had crossed the river Chobar. Other sources date the battle after a night spent by the river, near Raqqa, the Turks attacking to resupply Harran. Bernard the patriarch and Benedict the archbishop organised Christian confessions. Sukman ibn Artuq's force was gradually defeated by Bohemond and Tancred; but the battle turned elsewhere when Baldwin of Edessa, seeing Bohemond's success, charged to win a quick victory, not waiting till the Antiochenes' success was completed. Ralph agrees that Baldwin's forces were the weak link. He triggered a Turkish ambush which captured him and many of his men, killing others and leading to a crushing victory. Baldwin was taken off by the victors, despite attempts by Tancred to rescue him; his place as ruler of Edessa was taken by Tancred, who rushed to save the city from any sudden attack. Joscelin was also captured, and the two prisoners were held far away in the victor's lands. After the massacre of crusaders, Tancred was able to free archbishop Benedict - or, according to William of Tyre, a Christian in the Turkish army who was given charge of Benedict was moved to pity, and at great personal danger allowed the prisoner to escape uninjured back to Edessa. Ralph of Caen puts emphasis on the retreat of Bohemond and Tancred, which, he says, was forced on the leaders by their men. They abandoned what remained of their baggage while fleeing over wet and slippery paths. The church lost in the battle of Harran eighteen clergy and three monks, who were attending to the spiritual needs of the crusaders
