* Dome of the Rock.
† For the building history of the Holy Sepulchre, see M. Biddle, The Tomb of Christ (Sutton, 1999).
‡ This description of the Dome of the Rock was clearly written in 1115.
* Actually 7 June; for the siege see map opposite.
† 13 June; this account is mainly from the Provençal perspective at Mount Sion.
‡ The Genoese fleet and others at Jaffa.
* 9 July 1099.
† 10–12 July 1099.
‡ 13–14 July 1099.
§ Probably on 8 July 1099.
¶ 15 July 1099.
** The al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount.
* 18 June 1099; Geldemar Carpinel was an ally of Godfrey of Bouillon, who gave him Haifa in 1100; William, lord of Sabran, was a Provençal follower of Count Raymond.
* 6 June 1099.
* Clearly, in Raymond’s narrative, he has taken the place left by Peter Bartholomew; perhaps less dangerous, being a priest.
* The procession occurred 8 July 1099.
† William Embriaco and his brother Hugh commanded Genoese galleys; machines began to be built 15 June 1099.
* Perhaps 9 July 1099.
* The ships had foundered or been scuttled 18–19 June 1099. The wooden equipment, not least masts for artillery-throwing missiles, proved crucial.
† The attack began 14 July 1099.
* 15 July 1099.
* Psalms 118:24.
* For scrofae and petrariae, see above, p. 115n; fundibula were slings. Sieges often turned on the use of artillery and other engines; Antioch was an exception.
† 15 July 1099.
* Black Nubians provided a significant element in the Egyptian army.
† The details are Fulcher’s own.
* From Ovid, Metamorphoses, VII. 585–6.
* Arnulf of Chocques’s election 1 August 1099, perhaps deliberately exactly one year after the death of Adhemar of Le Puy.
† 5 August 1099; a very convenient find, especially in the light of the previous controversies over relics.
* Godfrey left to scout 9 August; the main body moved towards Ascalon on 11 August; the battle was fought on 12 August 1099; Raymond later carried the lance on the crusade of 1101.
* 22 July 1099.
* Probably the Holy Sepulchre, although the Franks usually called the Dome of the Rock the Temple of the Lord.
† 12 August 1099.
* A slightly ambiguous phrase (regni principem) that matched a disagreement over authority between Godfrey and the Church led by Daimbert of Pisa as patriarch of Jerusalem in 1100.
* Characteristically, Fulcher ignores the bitter dispute following the election of Arnulf of Chocques as patriarch and his subsequent deposition in favour of Archbishop Daimbert of Pisa.
† Raymond of Aguilers talks instead of the Holy Lance: see above, p. 338.
* 11 August 1099.
