1102 CE
The Siege of Jerusalem had been a success and led to the foundation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Most crusaders had returned home afterwards; when a second movement set out from Europe, encouraged by the success of the First Crusade, it had been mostly annihilated by the Seljuq Turks in Anatolia.
Raymond had participated in this crusade as well, and had returned to Syria after escaping from his defeat at the hands of Kilij Arslan I in Anatolia.
In 1102, Raymond travels by sea from Constantinople to Antioch, where he is imprisoned by Tancred, and is only dismissed after promising not to attempt any conquests in the country between Antioch and Acre.
