William, Bishop of Orange took part in the First Crusade. In 1096 Hugh of Châteauneuf, Bishop of Grenoble and William, Bishop of Orange, went to Genoa and preached in the church of San Siro, in order to gather troops for the First Crusade. After the death of Adhemar of Le Puy in August 1098 in Antioch, he was recognized as leader of the clergy, until he himself died six months later in December 1098 in Ma'arrat al-Nu'man.[1]
