==== First Crusade ====
* [[January 16]] &ndash; The Crusaders, under [[Raymond IV, Count of Toulouse|Raymond IV]], count of [[County of Toulouse|Toulouse]] (Raymond of Saint-Gilles), leave [[Antioch]], and head south towards [[Jerusalem]]. They are joined by forces of [[Tancred, Prince of Galilee|Tancred]] (a nephew of [[Bohemond I of Antioch|Bohemond I]]) and [[Robert Curthose|Robert II]], duke of [[Duchy of Normandy|Normandy]]. Raymond is given free passage and supplies, and accepts guides from the Emir of [[Shaizar]] (modern [[Syria]]), who conducts the army (6,000 men) across the [[Orontes River]] (between Shaizar and [[Hama]]).<ref>[[Steven Runciman]] (1951). ''A History of the Crusades. Volume I: The First Crusade and the Foundation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem'', p. 221. {{ISBN|978-0-141-98550-3}}.</ref>
* [[January 22]] &ndash; The Crusaders, under Raymond IV, reach [[Masyaf]], where a treaty is agreed to. They decide to continue the march, rather than to capture or destroy the town. The next day the Crusaders enter the deserted town of [[Raphanea|Rafaniyah]], that provides them with much-needed supplies. Raymond moves into the [[Beqaa Valley|Buqaia Valley]], and takes the strategic Kurdish fortress of Hosn al-Akrad (the future [[Krak des Chevaliers]] castle).<ref>Steven Runciman (1951). ''A History of the Crusades. Volume I: The First Crusade and the Foundation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem'', p. 222. {{ISBN|978-0-141-98550-3}}.</ref>
* [[February]] &ndash; The Crusaders under [[Godfrey of Bouillon]] set out from Antioch to [[Latakia]]. They are joined by forces of Bohemond I and [[Robert II, Count of Flanders|Robert II]], count of [[County of Flanders|Flanders]]. On their arrival, Bohemond decides to turn back to consolidate his power in Antioch. Godfrey and Robert move on to besiege the small sea-port of [[Jableh|Jabala]]. After two weeks, the Emir of Jabala makes a truce, and accepts the suzerainty of the Crusaders.<ref>Steven Runciman (1951). ''A History of the Crusades. Volume I: The First Crusade and the Foundation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem'', p. 224. {{ISBN|978-0-141-98550-3}}.</ref>
* [[February 14]] &ndash; The Crusaders under Raymond IV besiege the fortified town of [[Arqa|Akkar]] – whose garrison is loyal to [[Jalal al-Mulk Abu'l-Hasan]], emir of [[Tripoli, Lebanon|Tripoli]] (modern [[Lebanon]]). On May 13 after a 3-month siege the investment of Akkar is raised and Raymond orders the camp to be struck. The Crusader host, finally joined by the forces of Godfrey of Bouillon and Robert II, resumes his march southwards to Tripoli.<ref>David Nicolle (2003).

* [[February 17]] &ndash; Raymond IV sends a small part of his army under [[Raymond Pilet d'Alès|Raymond Pilet]] to attack the port of [[Tartus|Tortosa]] on the Syrian coast. The Crusaders led many fires around the port to make believe their number is greater than it is. Fooled by the deception, the governor and the garrison flees by sea in the night leaving the port open for the Crusaders to capture. The port becomes strategically important for supplies.<ref>Steven Runciman (1951). ''A History of the Crusades. Volume I: The First Crusade and the Foundation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem'', p. 223. {{ISBN|978-0-141-98550-3}}.</ref>
* [[May]] &ndash; The Crusaders march past Tripoli, accompanied by guides provided by the emir who lead them safely through the towns of [[Batroun]] and [[Byblos]]. On May 19 they cross the [[Nahr al-Kalb|Dog River]] north of [[Beirut]] into Fatimid territory. There local governors supply the Crusaders with tribute and food in return for no damage to the [[Agriculture|agricultural]] area. The Fatimids keep no large troops in the north, except for small garrisons.<ref>Steven Runciman (1951). ''A History of the Crusades. Volume I: The First Crusade and the Foundation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem'', pp. 227–228. {{ISBN|978-0-141-98550-3}}.</ref>
* [[May 20]] &ndash; The Fatimid governor of [[Sidon]] refuses to cooperate and his garrison attacks the Crusader host while they are looting local villages. The Fatimids are repulsed, the towns further south generally follow the example of Beirut. The Crusaders move on to [[Tyre, Lebanon|Tyre]] – Raymond IV decides to wait for two days to allow a force under [[Baldwin II of Jerusalem|Baldwin of Le Bourg]] (supported by knights from Antioch) to catch up with him.<ref>Steven Runciman (1951).
