The Siege of Antioch
Gustave Döre, artist. While Bóhemund engineered the delivery of the city by a tower commander, a small contingent of his men actually scaled the wall and secured control of a postern gate that lead to the fall of everything save the citadel. The following day the army of Abbasid commander Kerbogha invested the city. Facing starvation and a promise of no quarter, Bóhemund threw his threadbare force against the Muslims on 28 Jun 1098. Kerbodha dithered. When he finally brought up his main force its cohesion was shattered by the flight of the troops stationed just beyond the gates. The Christians would hold Antioch until it was sacked by the Mamluk sultan, Baybars, in 1268.Military 7 May 1104 Raqqa, Syria Battle of Harran - In a bid to secure its borders, the armies of the Principality of Antioch and the county of Edessa fought a running battle with the Seljuq Turks that ended in a rout of the Franks. The results were a disaster for the fledgling principality. Not only did the Muslims reoccupy lost territory, the Byzantines and Armenians were provided an opening to expand their own influence and control in the region. Bohémund announced his intention to leave Antioch shortly thereafter, ostensibly to raise support for relief of the city. In September, he sailed to Italy. He parlayed his European celebrity into a royal match and the provisioning of a campaign in the Balkans against the hated Greeks. The latter failed at Durazzo in 1108.
