Early the next morning, news of the turmoil from last night quickly spread like wildfire through the entire Crusader camp.
A large group of Gaul nobles were furious, all clamoring for severe punishment of the culprits.
But since last night, the Germanic Crusaders had shut their camp gates tight, ignoring the insults from the outside, refusing to open the doors.
Below the camp walls, more than a dozen Knights in barrel helmets surrounded a nobleman in fine clothes.
"Good day, Sir Leopold, I am Manuel of Poitiers, son of Bohemond, the sole legitimate heir to the Duke of Antioch. Allow me to extend to you my sincerest greetings."
Raymond had also served as Duke of Antioch, but he entered Antioch as a son-in-law. After the death of his first wife Constance of Poitiers, he lost control of Antioch.
"Good day, nobleman."
