1102 CE
Raymond immediately breaks his promise, attacking and capturing Tartus with help from a Genoese fleet.
He has with him only three hundred men.
Fakhr al-Mulk, qadi of Tripoli, is not as accommodating to Raymond as his predecessor had been, and calls for assistance from Duqaq of Damascus and the governor of Homs.
However, the troops from Damascus and Homs defect once they reach Tripoli, and the qadi is defeated at the beginning of April, losing seven thousand men.
Raymond cannot take Tripoli itself, but captures the Tortosa becomes the base of all future operations against Tripoli.
