Certainty: 3 Foraging & ambushes during the siege of Antioch
Turkish ambushes killed several prominent crusaders in the orchard outside the Gate of the Duke, especially Adelbero, son of the count of Luxembourg, and the noblewoman with whom he was playing dice, and Arnulf of Tirs. Godfrey was furious at these losses in the area he was supposed to be defending, and had the orchard cut down. Because of the increasing famine in the army outside Antioch, the council of the crusaders decided that Bohemond and Robert of Flanders should go foraging, while Raymond and Adhemar of le Puy stayed in the camp. Bohemond and Robert twice collected considerable plunder, but were unable to get enough food back to the camp to last long: Turkish troops were able to surround the raiding parties and remove their booty. Tancred caused problems for Turkish foraging: he encouraged the Antiochenes to come out and forage at night in large numbers, then struck, killing 700 of them; he sent Adhemar a tithe of 70 heads, for which he gained a cash reward, so he could pay his debts. He also fought three Turks in combat on his own, observed by his squire, and killed them all
