Apparently William of Nevers and his highly disciplined army was trying to catch up with the combined armies of Burgundians, Germans, French, Byzantine Penchenegs with Raymond of Tolouse and a rabble of Lombard peasants. In the event he never managed it, although they must have gotten close.
The combined army was destroyed on it's idiotic journey to rescue Bohemond from captivity because the Lombard rabble demanded it. Only the mounted knights manged escape to Sinope and back to Constantinople. Nevers' army was destroyed quite close to Armenian Cicilia by the same Turk army which had just destroyed the combined army/rabble, only William and a handful of knights made it Antioch, half naked and disarmed.
WI Nevers did manage to catch up to the rest, perhaps at Ancara?
Would the Lombard peasants be able to get their way and lead the entire army into Paphlagonia?
Or perhaps would some or all of the combined army join Nevers and head directly for Outremer?
Or maybe all of the army would head for Outremer and the Lombard rabble would head off to get slaughtered?
How would the mixture of Nevers' disciplined army go if Raymond and his Penchenegs and Stephen of Blois, who had crossed Anatolia before, were with him?
Would they get to Outremer, and what could they do there?
