Antioch has fallen to the crusaders, but Kerbogha’s army now surrounds the exhausted occupiers. Food is scarce, desertion continues and the besiegers have become the besieged. The discovery of the Holy Lance offers a possible source of unity, while Bohemond of Taranto argues that the army must risk battle before starvation makes resistance impossible.
Bohemond sends Edward Kemp to gather intelligence on Kerbogha’s divided coalition. The mission forces the English knight to cross religious and military boundaries at a moment when both sides suspect treachery. Adhemar of Le Puy attempts to hold the crusading contingents together, but triumph on the plains outside Antioch will intensify rather than end the rivalry over leadership and possession of the city.
