Pons of Balazun (died 1099) was an Occitan nobleman who participated in the First Crusade and in the creation of one of its earliest histories, the Book of the Franks Who Captured Jerusalem.
[1] According to Archbishop William II of Tyre, "before the walls of Arka ... Pons de Balazune, a nobleman of high rank and a friend of the count of Toulouse ... perished from the blow of a stone missile" alongside Anselm de Ribemont.
There exists an 11th-century charter issued by a Pons of Balazuc to his wife, Jaquette de Trevenne, and his son, Jordan.
[1] The Book of the Franks begins with a dedication to Leodegar, bishop of Viviers, by its two authors, Pons of Balazun and Raymond of Aguilers.
[1][3] He and Raymond, who was from the neighbouring diocese of Le Puy, probably knew each other in France before the crusade.
