The moat was filled at two points, opposite the towers of Godfrey of Bouillon and Raymond of Toulouse, and the towers were brought up to the wall. Adhemar of le Puy was seen by many, leading the assault, as was a warrior on the Mount of Olives waving a shield and encouraging the crusaders. Godfrey and his brother Eustace commanded their tower from the top storey, while the bottom storey was for those who propelled it. In the middle storey were Engilbert and Lethold of Tournai with other soldiers. As the mangonels, missiles from the tower and elsewhere emptied the wall in front of them, Engilbert and Lethold made a bridge across to the rampart and entered the city, followed by their colleagues, then Godfrey and Eustace from the upper storey. Among the first of the crusaders to follow those from the tower into Jerusalem were Baldwin of Bourcq, Conan of Lamballe, Cono and Lambert of Montaigu, Gaston of Beziers, Gaston of Bearn, Gerard of Rousillon, Hugh of Saint-Pol, Louis of Mousson, Raimbold of Orange, Robert of Flanders, Robert of Normandy, Tancred and Thomas of La Fere. Raymond, fighting outside the wall in the south, did not know of the success of the northern attack till the defenders opposite him fled. He entered unopposed and opened the south gate, followed by Isoard of Die, bishop Peter of Narbonne, Raymond Pilet and William of Sabran. The massacre began from both directions
