Guynemer of Boulogne had assembled a fleet …
Years: 1097 - 1097
September
Guynemer of Boulogne had assembled a fleet of Danes, Frisians, and Flemings and set out from northern Europe for the eastern Mediterranean in spring 1097.
Sailing up to Tarsus, he finds Baldwin of Boulogne besieging the place, held by Tancred of Hauteville, a fellow Christian but rival of Baldwin's for dominance in Cilicia.
Excited to find a native of his own home town, he readily gives assistance to Baldwin, and after the town is taken, he is given command of the garrison.
