The crusaders who had not gone to Arqah set out southwards from Laodikeia

Summary:
On March 1, as planned, Bohemond, Godfrey, Robert of Flanders and others still near Antioch met at Laodikeia and went to besiege Jabala. The townspeople offered a huge ransom for the safety of Jabala, but the crusaders refused it. The ransom was then paid as a bribe to Raymond of Toulouse at Arqah, who demanded immediate help there from the crusaders. The leaders were already unhappy to be losing Bohemond, who was returning to protect Antioch, where he was now in full control. They immediately left Jabala to confront the new emergency at Arqah. They were furious when they discovered that there was no emergency and learned the truth
