Alexius I had made a separate peace with the Turks and now claimed the city for the Byzantine Empire.
Godfrey and his knights of Lorraine played a minor role in the siege of Nicaea, with Bohemond successfully commanding much of the action.
Just as the Crusaders were about to storm the city, they suddenly noticed the Byzantine flag flying from atop the city walls.
