The chronicles explain the rapid success by the Turkish retreat, but it is also known that on September 12, at Beyoğlu (Pera) in Constantinople, the count was preparing the funerals of several of his men who died in the attack on Gelibolu.

Simon de Saint-Amour and Roland de Veissy, both knights of the Collar, had been killed, and the count's bursar, Antoine Barbier had purchased eighteen escutcheons bearing the "device of the Collar" (devisa collarium) for their funeral, while eighty-one wax torches and alms were paid for the burial of Girard Mareschal from Savoy and Jean d'Yverdon from the Vaudois.

A large storm in the Sea of Marmora had initially prevented the remainder of the crusade from leaving Gelibolu, but by September4 they had arrived by sea at Constantinople.

The fleet has landed at Beyoğlu (Pera), the Genoese quarter where most of his men stay, although some take lodgings in Galata, the borgo de Veneciis (Venetian quarter), and Amadeus himself purchases a house in the city proper, which he has to furnish.

Besides the cost of furniture and funerals, the count has to pay his interpreter Paulo three months' wages.
