The crusaders somehow reached Antioch despite parched exhaustion and managed to take it, but were then themselves besieged by a much larger Turkish force. Alexios set out with a large army to relieve them but was turned back halfway when three deserting knights reported all was lost. Against all odds the crusaders triumphed — then considered themselves released from their oaths and gave Antioch to Bohemond, making the ancient city the heart of a crusader state.
