Raymond was part of the doomed [[Crusade of 1101]], where he was defeated at the [[Battle of Mersivan]] in [[Anatolia]]. He escaped and returned to Constantinople. In 1102, he travelled by sea from Constantinople to Antioch, where he was imprisoned by [[Tancred, Prince of Galilee|Tancred]], regent of Antioch during the captivity of Bohemond, and was only dismissed after promising not to attempt any conquests in the country between Antioch and [[Acre, Israel|Acre]]. He immediately broke his promise, attacking and capturing [[Tartus]], and began to build a castle on the [[Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles|Mons Peregrinus]] ("Pilgrim's Mountain") which would help in his [[siege of Tripoli]]. He was aided by Alexius I, who preferred a friendly state in Tripoli to balance the hostile state in Antioch.

The ''[[qadi]]'' of Tripoli, [[Fakhr al-Mulk ibn Ammar]], led an attack on Mons Peregrinus in September 1104 and set a wing of the citadel on fire. Raymond himself managed to escape across a rooftop, but was badly burned and spent his final months in agony.{{sfn|Maalouf|1983|p=75}} He died of his injuries on February 28, 1105, before Tripoli was captured.
