Thomas Asbridge:
Hi Thomas, I am finishing up your very detailed and well portrayed, The First Crusade. One thing I am unclear on, is that Stephen of Blois leaves the Crusade, which you cover, but I seem to have missed his return and following death. Is this covered in your tomb? As an aside, did Bohemond not travel with the standard march to Jerusalem, did he stay in Antioch?

Hello Ryan
Thanks for you question.
I do comment on the later careers of both Stephen of Blois and Bohemond at the end of the book, though there is more detail in my general history 'The Crusades: The War for the Holy Land'. Bohemond stayed in Antioch initially, only completing his pilgrimage to Jerusalem in late 1099.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
Yours
Thomas

Thomas Asbridge:
Hi Thomas, I'm looking at your book, 'The Creation of the Principality of Antioch, 1098-1130' but there are not many favorably priced copies available. ($50+cheapest used I could find) Is there any chance this will be seeing a re-print anytime soon? Or could you suggest another work?
