The anonymous Gesta Francorum and Tudebode's account share similarities and there are disputes among scholars as to their relationship. Historian Jay Rubenstein suggests that both derive from a lost common source.Rubenstein, Jay (2005). "[https://www.brepolsonline.net/doi/epdf/10.1484/J.RM.2.303576 What is the Gesta Francorum, and who was Peter Tudebode?]". Revue Mabillon. 16: 179–204. doi:10.1484/J.RM.2.303576. This is disputed by Marcus Bull's recent examination of a little known manuscript related to these two chronicles, Peregrinatio Antiochie, which proposes that the Gesta is indeed the earliest surviving narrative from which the other two, the Historia and the Peregrinatio, as well as many others, descended.Bull, Marcus (2012).
