In Book II, Fulcher of Chartres records several earthquakes between 1113 and 1117 CE, as follows:

• 1113 CE — In Book II, Chapter LI, Fulcher writes that we twice felt an earthquake. No damage or specific location is mentioned, though it may have occurred in Jerusalem where Fulcher was living. The times he gives correspond to midnight on 17 or 18 July 1113 CE and to the third hour (≈ 9 a.m.) on 8 or 9 August 1113 CE.


• 1114 CE — In Book II, Section LII, Fulcher notes an earthquake on 10 August 1114 CE at an unspecified location, possibly felt in Jerusalem. Later that year, he records a second shock on 13 November 1114 CE that destroyed part of Mamistra (Mopsuestia). He adds that a greater quake … shook the area of Antioch and destroyed a great many towns in whole or in part, including houses as well as walls, and that some of the common people perished of suffocation in the ruins. Whether this greater quake was the same as the one at Mamistra or a separate event is unclear. It may instead refer to the 29 November earthquake that apparently devastated Marash (Kahramanmaraş). Fulcher writes that they say that this quake destroyed the city of Marash … The houses and walls were completely demolished and the people living there, alas! were all killed. Another town called Trialeth, near the Euphrates River, was also destroyed. Trialeth has been identified by various scholars as Balis on the Euphrates or Tell Khalid (Trialeth).


• 1115 CE — In Book II, Chapter LIV, Fulcher records another earthquake without a specific date. During this event Mamistra was demolished by an earthquake, and other places in the area of Antioch suffered no less.


• 1117 CE — In Book II, Chapter LXI, Fulcher remarks that He moreover as He wills causes the earth to tremble and then to be still. No damage or location is given. Ambraseys (2009) suggests Jerusalem, while Guidoboni and Comastri (2005) place it near Scandelion Castle (≈ 12 km from Tyre). Ambraseys’s interpretation is probably correct, since Fulcher notes that the shock occurred in the silence of an unseasonable night, implying firsthand experience in Jerusalem. Chronological inconsistencies in Fulcher’s narrative suggest the event occurred between 26 and 29 June 1117 CE.
