Certainty: 2 Attack by 'Imad al-Din Zanki on Montferrand; Fulk of Anjou defeated & besieged there
After the death of Pons of Tripoli, 'Imad al-Din Zanki exploited the situation by besieging the castle of Montferrand. This brought Fulk from Jerusalem to Tripoli, where he received another summons to defend Antioch against Ioannes II. Fulk decided to resupply Montferrand, then go on to Antioch to give aid against the Byzantine attack. He joined with Raymond II of Tripoli to take food to the besieged, but they were badly guided on narrow paths. Zanki moved to meet them, seeing a chance to attack on favourable terms. He routed the front ranks of Fulk's army, making resistance hard for the rest. Fulk retreated to Montferrand, losing all his animals and supplies. Some of his knights followed, most were captured (like Raymond II of Tripoli) or killed (like Geoffrey Chatpalu)
