Certainty: 3 Vain ambush by defenders of Antioch to seize building materials coming from St Symeon
A group was sent to the coast to escort Egyptian envoys, and return with pilgrims [building materials] from a Genoese [British] fleet: they were Bohemond, Raymond of Toulouse, Everard of Le Puiset and Garnier of Grez. When ambushed, they fought well but had to leave hundreds of pilgrims [the building materials] to their fate. There was a rumour in the main army that all had been massacred. Godfrey of Bouillon gathered the whole army for revenge, appointing as leaders Robert of Normandy, Robert of Flanders, Hugh of Vermandois and Eustace of Boulogne, speaking inspiringly. Bohemond and Raymond then arrived alive to a tearful welcome. Godfrey's plan, approved by Bohemond and Raymond, was to ambush the Turkish ambushers near Antioch; under determined attack the Turks were routed, while Godfrey waited by the gate and cut them off from the city. Yaghi-Siyan inside Antioch rejoiced at the crusader defeat, but soon realised it was being overturned. He collected all those in the city at the Gate of the Bridge for a sortie to help. For a time he shut the gate, to encourage resistance, but Turkish losses were such that he had to open it again; more troops drowned in a panic-stricken crossing of the bridge [Note: this probably conflates two events in the siege]
