[Tancred] sent his archers ahead in great strength to
challenge the enemy in their tents and to wound the
horses which were wandering all over the pastures
and meadows. He himself suddenly charged on
horseback with five hundred armoured cavalry into
the camp and against the followers of that same
Baldwin, so he could take a worthy revenge for all the 1b- {10/mid}

[Baldwin’s men] took up their swords at once and
raised their banners. And, having warned their
comrades with loud shouts, they hastily rode to meet
Tancred with much sounding of trumpets and horns,
engaging heavily in conflicts on both sides and falling
with serious wounds.

3- Note
This is the first open battle between rival crusader
factions. Rivalry between crusader leaders will continue
to be a major factor throughout all the crusades.
