Certainty: 2 Negotiations to save the remains of the county of Edessa
Baldwin III, as tension rose between him and queen Melisende, heard that the situation in the county of Edessa was very bad. Mas'ud of Ikonion was taking places near the border with his realm, allowing the landowners and their families free passage to Tell Bashir in return for surrender, while Nur al-Din was also active; when Mas'ud had to go home, the situation was no better. Baldwin set off northwards, taking Humphrey of Toron and Guy of Beirut, and adding Raymond II as he passed Tripoli; barons from Melisende's areas did not answer his summons. At Antioch, he found Byzantine envoys with a proposal from Manuel I. Manuel had sent a major Byzantine office-holder with many troops and large sums of money, to garrison the remaining towns and forts of Edessa, offering in return a yearly income for countess Beatrice and her children sufficient for honourable comfort. He sent envoys to Antioch to seek support for this plan. Some Latins said it was not yet time for such extreme measures, others that something must be done before the county of Edessa was completely overrun. Baldwin said that Jerusalem and Antioch left him little time for Edessa, and backed the Byzantine plan, ensuring its success
