Losses sustained by William de Warenne & Godfrey, archbishop of Langres

Summary:
Among the iniquities of the Byzantines during the march of Louis VII to Constantinople was their aggression towards small French detachments: both William de Warenne and Godfrey, archbishop of Langres, and others, sent forces forward to prepare for arrival at the capital, but neither force was strong enough to survive. Both suffered losses of men and material
