::: To this I would say that since Alexius had been informed by Stephen of Blois that Antioch had fallen to Kerbogha, his decision to turn around was influenced by the assumption that he would have to assault the walls and engage in a protracted siege, leaving Constantinople vulnerable to assault, rather than being scared off by numbers. Both Runciman and Hans Eberhard Mayer take this view. However since it is an issue of contention, I'm willing to leave it and go ahead with the other alterations as soon as I have the wording right.
