Historical Background
During the initial stage of the battle, Bohemond’s Crusader cavalry forward deployment to protect the infantry as they set up their defendable base camp had failed. The Turkish light cavalry harassing tactics forced the Crusader cavalry to fall back and rally on Robert of Normandy’s formation near the southern edge of the infantry camp. Meanwhile, a strong Turkish force attacked and began to penetrate the northern side of the Crusader camp which was not protected by any cavalry. At the same time, the first troops from the main Crusader body begin to arrive. This cavalry, under the command of Godfrey of Bouillon, formed up to the right of Bohemond. Together the reinforced Crusader cavalry pushed forward against Kilij Arslan’s Turkish units.
