Page "Adhemar of Le Puy" Paragraph 4

When Kerbogha was defeated, Adhemar organized a council in an attempt to settle the leadership disputes, but he died on 1 August 1098, probably of typhus.

The disputes among the higher nobles went unsolved, and the march to Jerusalem was delayed for months.

However, the lower-class foot soldiers continued to think of Adhemar as a leader ; some of them claimed to have been visited by his ghost during the siege of Jerusalem, and reported that Adhemar instructed them to hold another procession around the walls.

This was done, and Jerusalem was taken by the Crusaders in 1099.
