Certainty: 3 Arrival at Jerusalem of Bohemond of Antioch & Baldwin of Edessa on pilgrimage
Hearing news of Jerusalem from departing crusaders, Baldwin of Antioch had written to Baldwin of Edessa, suggesting that they complete their pilgrimages together. Baldwin agreed, though Balas of Saruj executed the last two of his hostages as Baldwin left. Daimbert, after three months near Laodikeia, joined their party, which contained two other bishops and Fulcher of Chartres. As he narrates, it was a difficult coastal march through hostile territory, with little food and freezing weather, in which many of both sexes died. They arrived in Jerusalem just before Christmas. It is said that Daimbert bribed and flattered both his companions on the journey south, and continued the same tactics with Godfrey of Bouillon on their arrival; as a result, Daimbert was appointed almost immediately to the patriarchate of Jerusalem, not only with the revenues of the old Greek patriarch, but with additional income. Arnulf of Choques was deposed and became archdeacon of Jerusalem, using the wealth which accrued to cause trouble for his successor Daimbert. The Christmas period was spent in visiting the holy places, with a climax on Christmas day in Bethlehem, when Daimbert invested Godfrey with Jerusalem and Bohemond with Antioch. [This whole series of events is dated by Ralph of Caen some three months later, at Easter 1100. But other sources agree on the dating at Christmas and witness to patriarchal activity of Daimbert before Easter, so Ralph is probably mistaken]
