When Godfrey of Bouillon saw that a number of knights had entered Jerusalem, he sent some of them to open the Gate of St Stephen, to let in the common crusaders. He began with them a brutal and total massacre of Muslims, Jews and even many Christians, seizing all their possessions. While his people continued with the massacre, he soon stopped, took off his armour, left the city and made a barefoot procession round it, with members of his household, ending emotionally at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, remembering visions seen at the beginning of the crusade, while the rest of the army was killing non-Christians. At one moment the defenders rallied and the outcome was in doubt, but Everard of Le Puiset cast doubt on the manhood of the Latin chivalry following him, and shamed them into following his example and killing many of the enemy. Raymond of Toulouse, corrupted by greed, allowed the Turks he captured in the Tower of David go free to Askalon, in reurn for a large bribe. But the worst of the killing was around the al-Aqsa mosque
