Certainty: 3 Death of Godfrey, advocate of the Holy Sepulchre: the succession
Godfrey, advocate of the Holy Sepulchre, had fallen sick with a fatal disease, for which no remedy could be found. On July 18 he received the Eucharist and died and was buried in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. On his deathbed, he bequeathed Jerusalem to the patriarch, but his closest allies disagreed. Garnier of Grez, who was also dying, refused to fulfil his wishes, but seized and fortified the Tower of David, making excuses about handing it over to Daimbert. He died within five days, but others continued his refusal. All the supporters of Baldwin of Edessa in Jerusalem sent Gunter, Robert, bishop of Lydda and Robert of Rouen with an urgent message that he should come at once to succeed Godfrey. The message was sent in the names of Arnulf of Choques, Galdemar Carpinel, Robert son of Gerard, Radulf of Mousson, Joffrey Godfrey's chamberlain, Wiric Godfrey's butler, Matthew Godfrey's seneschal and Wicher the German. Anna Komnene's alternative is unacceptable: she makes the Latins of Jerusalem offer the throne first to Raymond of Toulouse, but when he equivocated and went to Constantinople, they had recourse to Baldwin from Edessa. Ralph of Caen has an unlikely scene in which Daimbert and Arnulf, with others, leave the choice to Godfrey, and accept his selection of Baldwin

Certainty: 2 Determined attack on Tortosa by Tughtakin of Damascus foiled by a trick
The crusaders captured Tortosa and put it under the control of Raymond of Toulouse, who remained there to protect it. This posed a threat to Tughtakin of Damascus, who gathered a large army to recover it. Raymond had insufficient men to mount a conventional defence, so he hid his inferior forces in a corner of the castle and told the townspeople to say he had gone. Tughtakin accepted this explanation, camped outside the town and relaxed. Whereupon Raymond attacked his camp and massacred most of the Damascene troops
