Arqa

So they're fighting the Seljuks all this way, but now they're up against the Fatimids, the Egyptians, on their way towards Jerusalem.

They pass through Lebanon, cities of Arqa, Tripoli, Acre, uncontested by the locals.

On the 7th of June, around six months later, the crusaders, around 15,000 strong from their original force of 40,000, reach Jerusalem's walls where they camp and set up their force and their siege.

The crusaders take up positions on opposite ends of the city, stretching the defenders' numbers thin, with Godfrey of Bouillon leading the forces on one side and Raymond of Toulouse leading the other.
