Yeah, they were hopeless. I mean come on, you can't even work together in the most important event of both your military AND religious lives? I guess they both wanted to do the honors?
It kind of was like they were working together. One guy took one wall and the other took another wall. Godfrey of Bouillon wasn't really desperate to rule Jerusalem, that's why he made up his own title "The Defender of the Holy Sepulcher" rather than wear a crown of gold where Christ had worn a crown of thorns.
They wanted to make Raymond king of Jerusalem, but he refused. Godfrey of Bouillon and Raymond of Toulouse were both pretty good men, but a lot of the others were not, such as Hugh of Vermandois and many of the other lower leaders. Bohemond was just plain awesome.
