Certainty: 2 Huge but unsuccessful attack by Sharaf al-Din Mawdud on the county of Antioch
The Isbasalar Mawdud, governor of Mosul, assembled a huge army, with allies including Ahmadil the leader of the Kurds, Najm al-Din Ilghazi, the Urtuqid, and Sukman ibn Artuq, the ex-ruler of Jerusalem. The massive forces attacked Tell Bashir, making Baldwin of Bourcq appeal for aid to Baldwin I. The Turks are said to have tried unsuccessfully to drain all water from the surrounding mountains. When Mawdud failed to capture Tell Bashir, he divided his army, which was too big to supply easily: half went on towards Antioch, half went back to Khorasan, harried by Joscelin of Courtenay from Tell Bashir, who captured some supply waggons [Does this division mask conflict?]. Mawdud reached Aleppo, where the army hoped to leave the women and children. However Fakhr al-Mulk Ridwan, as an ally of Tancred, wished to show neutrality in the conflict, and refused to protect the Turks' families, giving his son as a hostage. The disappointed Mawdud thereupon publicly executed the hostage, continuing past Aleppo to camp at Shayzar. Tancred, who had gathered all his allies including Baldwin I, meeting them at Rugia and advancing via Apamea, approached him at Shayzar
