Shortly thereafter, he received word that emir Ghazi of Danishmend was marching against the fortress town of Kaisun.
When Joscelin's own son refused to aid the town, he commanded that his own army should decamp and Joscelin was borne on a litter before the army.
When Ghazi heard of Joscelin's approach, perhaps mistakenly believing him already dead, he lifted the siege and retreated, and thus the warrior prince won a final battle before dying shortly thereafter on the roadside.

 REDVERS and COURTENAY Families of early England - Pat Patterson's Genealogy Pages
The first Courtenay on record was "Atho," a French Knight, universally admitted to have been of nameless origin, who built a castle at Courtenay, a small town in the Gatenois, sixty miles from Paris, early in the eleventh century, and took his name from his residence.
The Courtenays, as descendants of Mary de Redvers, daughter of the sixth earl, naturally laid claim to the earldom of Devon, and the whole of the Redvers property, upon the death of Countess Isabella.
Peter of Courtenay had, as we have seen, ascended the throne of Constantinople in 1217, but two years later he had died in captivity, and during the succeeding years, and until their final expulsion in 1261, his sons had certainly done nothing to redeem the prestige of their family.

Kharput probably stands on or near the site of Carcathio-certa in Sophene, reached by Corbulo in A.D. The early Moslem geographers knew it as Hisn Ziyad, but the Armenian name was Khartabirt or Kharbirt, whence Kharput.
Joscelin (Jocelyn) of Courtenay, and Baldwin II., king of Jerusalem, both prisoners of the Amir Balak in its castle, were murdered by being cast from its cliffs after an attempted rescue.
The story is told by William of Tyre, who calls the place Quart Piert or Pierre, but it is a mere romance.

Joscelin, like Baldwin of Le Bourg, is well liked by the Armenians and is reasonably tolerant toward the local Christians.
Only Joscelin's tolerant behaviour and Maria's own popularity allow her to survive, though the Frankish leaders complain about the impracticality of a woman leading a military frontier-state.

Upon the death of Baldwin I in 1118, the crown was offered to the king's elder brother Eustace III, but Joscelin of Courtenay insisted that the crown pass to Baldwin of Bourcq, despite Count Baldwin having exiled Joscelin from Edessa in 1113.

Two further consequences of the defeat were that Tancred, who had not returned to Tiberias in the meantime, was named regent of Edessa, and the Byzantines were emboldened to recapture Cilicia and the harbor and lower town of Lattakieh.
Meanwhile Tancred, regent of both Antioch and neighboring Edessa, refused to relinquish the county upon the return in 1108 of Baldwin of Bourcq and Joscelin of Courtenay.
The upshot of these events was that Baldwin I of Jerusalem (formerly Count Baldwin I of Edessa), in alliance with Bertrand, Baldwin of Bourcq and Joscelin of Courtenay, faced down Tancred and William-Jordan.

Bohemond and Tancred marched north from Antioch to Edessa to join with Baldwin and Joscelin of Courtenay, and then marched towards Harran, about 20 kilometres away.
The dispute between Bohemond and Baldwin was already distracting the Crusaders, and was on the point of causing the alliance to collapse.

Wyclif's opinions were formally condemned at a Council held in his presence at Blackfriars in 1382.
Courtenay died in 1396 at Maidstone, and is thought by some to have been buried there, but there is more reason to believe that his body was transferred to Canterbury where his eggigial monument can still be seen today.
So we can only conclude that the inscription at Colyton is a mendacious inscription, and was invented to support the tradition about "little chokebone", as the natives call her, and which, like many other traditions about the Courtenays, can have had no foundation in fact.
