Joscelin of Edessa was said to have been summoned to Antioch by Aimery, the patriarch. He went with a small escort, left them briefly to relieve himself, but was captured by brigands. He ended up in prison in Aleppo. The escort reported his loss, but it was only later that his location was discovered. Now both Antioch and Edessa had lost their lords, bringing the two peoples together. Joscelin is said by William of Tyre to have died at once, overwhelmed by mental and physical sufferings and the dreadful conditions in the prison. Other sources make him live on for some years, tortured in prison
