Main crusader army rested at Mar'ash

Summary:
While Baldwin, brother of Godfrey of Bouillon, and Tancred operated separately in Cilicia, the main army reached Mar'ash and rested for a time. Godfrey there lost to sickness Baldwin's wife Godehilde of Tosny, who had been entrusted to his care in Baldwin's absence, and his own steward Udelard of Wissant. According to William of Tyre, Baldwin of Boulogne returned to Mar'ash from Cilicia to see how his brother Godfrey was recovering from his injuries. He was reprimanded by Godfrey for his behaviour to Tancred. Bohemond said nothing out of respect for Godfrey

  • From Mopsuestia returned to main army at Mar'ash, according to wishes of his comrades, and to check in person on health of Godfrey 51 after his episode with the bear (: ) William of Tyre bk. 3, 26(25).1-6
  • Bohemond 61 did nothing, out of respect for Godfrey 51, who reprimanded Baldwin severely; Baldwin himself promised satifaction to Tancred 61; as he was led on by others, he was pardoned, and no such complaint was ever again made (: ) William of Tyre bk. 4, 1.11-20
  • Finding Godfrey 51 better, he planned another adventure, jealous of increasing fame of Tancred 61; but all condemned his insolence to Tancred at Tarsus, Bohemond 61 thought of punishment and Baldwin had few potential companions (: ) William of Tyre bk. 4, 1.1-13
Bohemond of Taranto (Bohemond 61)
  • While Baldwin 51 and Tancred 61 acted separately, the main crusader army paused for rest at Mar'ash, treating local Christians well; the six leaders were equal: Godfrey 51, Bohemond 61, Raymond 61, Robert 62, Adhemar 4001 and Robert 63 (:) Albert of Aachen III.27
  • After the battle of Dorylaion and the great thirst, he marched with the main body down the royal road, and camped at Antioch the Less (in Pisidia), where the army rested; Godfrey 51 went hunting and was badly injured fighting a bear (:) Albert of Aachen III.2-3
  • Would have punished Baldwin 51, when he returned to the main army at Mar'ash, for insolence to Tancred 61 at Tarsos, but for his reverence for Baldwin's brother, Godfrey 51 (: ) William of Tyre bk. 4, 1.11-13
Godehilde of Tosny, wife of Baldwin I of Boulogne (Godehilde 4001)
  • She had suffered from a long illness; Baldwin 51 her husband had left her in the charge of his brothers Godfrey 51 and Eustace 4001; at Mar'ash she was called from this present world and went to rest in the Lord William of Tyre bk. 3, 19(18).28-34

  • It was to check on his injuries that Baldwin 51 returned to main army at Mar'ash, and he found him better; his reputation protected Baldwin from punishment by Bohemond 61, but he reprimanded Baldwin severely (: ) William of Tyre bk. 4, 1.3-14
