The French passage from Ephesus to Antioch …
Years: 1148 - 1148
March
The French passage from Ephesus to Antioch in midwinter is harrowing in the extreme.
Supplies run short, and the Greeks are blamed.
The crusaders finally reach Antioch in March 1148, welcomed by Prince Raymond, Queen Eleanor's uncle.
Raymond wisely urges an attack on Aleppo, the center of power of Nur ad-Din, son and successor of Zengi, but Louis decides for religious reasons to campaign closer to Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre.
Raymond's relations with Eleanor, his niece, give rise to scandalous rumors, and when she takes her uncle's side concerning the attack on Aleppo, Louis places her under house arrest and takes her and his troops to Jerusalem.
