Roman of Le Puy

[2] Hans Eberhard Mayer refutes Riley-Smith's view, emphasizing that no primary source substantiates that Roman held the fortress.

[5] Historian Steven Tibble proposes that Roman only held the territory to the north of Wadi Mujib, because the southern region of Oultrejordain remained part of the royal demesne.

[7][8] Montreal and two smaller fortresses—li Vaux Moysi near Petra and Ailah on the Red Sea—strengthened the defence of the kingdom and secured the control of the caravan routes between Damascus and Egypt.

[1][11][12] According to a widespread scholarly theory, the Etablissement du roi Baudoin de Borc—a document about the erection of ports and roads without royal permission—was issued to authorize the king to confiscate Oultrejourdain after Roman's unsuccessful rebellion.

[5] According to William of Tyre, Roman was one of the discontented noblemen who were accused of conspiring against Baldwin II's son-in-law and successor, King Fulk, in the early 1130s.
