The extent to which native Islamic and Eastern Christian courts continued to function is unknown, but the ra'is probably exercised some legal authority on a local level. A 1911 map showing the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the other Crusader states. In the countryside, wheat, barley, legumes, olives, grapes, and dates were grown. The sultan easily defeated the trapped crusader army and regained Damietta. King Baldwin was so incapacitated by his leprosy that it was necessary to appoint a regent, and Guy of Lusignan was chosen, as he was Baldwin's legal heir and the king was not expected to live. Warfare between the Fatimids and Seljuks caused great disruption for the local Christians and for western pilgrims. During the height of the kingdom in the mid-12th century there was a royal family and a relatively clear line of succession. (William of Tyre, vol. It lasted for almost two hundred years, from the accession of Godfrey of Bouillon in 1099 until the siege of Acre in 1291. For the next hundred years, the Kingdom of Jerusalem remained as a tiny kingdom hugging the Syrian coastline. [115] Contemporary chronicler William of Tyre recorded the census of 1183, which was intended to determine the number of men available to defend against an invasion, and to determine the amount of tax money that could be obtained from the inhabitants, Muslim or Christian. 9, ch. The arrival of the crusade was a brief respite from the Lombard War; Filangieri remained in Tyre and did not participate. The defeat of the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 612 BC at the Battle of Nineveh by the Neo-Babylonian Empire caused upheavals that led to the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah. Louis arrived in Cyprus in 1248, where he gathered an army of his own men, including his brothers Robert of Artois, Charles of Anjou, and Alphonse of Poitiers, and those of Cyprus and Jerusalem, led by the Ibelin family John of Jaffa, Guy of Ibelin, and Balian of Beirut. Runciman, "The Crusader States, 1243-1291", pp. Special courts such as the Cour de la Fond (for commercial disputes in the markets) and the Cour de la Mer (an admiralty court) existed in the coastal cities. It set on the march in 608 BC, moving through Judah. [68], When Richard arrived in 1191, he and Philip took different sides in the succession dispute. He was succeeded briefly by his son John II, who died soon after in 1285, and was succeeded by his brother, Hugh III's other son Henry II. [55] Internationally, the Lusignans were useful as vassals of Baldwin and Sibylla's cousin Henry II of England. His son Solomon expanded the empire that David built. [51] After William of Montferrat arrived in 1176, he fell ill and died in June 1177, leaving Sibylla widowed and pregnant with the future Baldwin V. Raynald was then named regent. John was supported by his nobles on Cyprus, and by his continental holdings in Beirut, Caesarea, and Arsuf, as well as by the Knights Templar and the Genoese. The regulations imposed on them are the handing over of half of the grain crop at the time of harvest and the payment of a poll tax of one dinar and seven qirats, together with a light duty on their fruit trees. This is the way the farms and big villages are organized in Frankish territory. The urban composition of the area, combined with the presence of the Italian merchants, led to the development of an economy that was much more commercial than it was agricultural. By the time that the crusaders were ready supplies were already running out and the fleet retired. They especially cultivated Sugar for export to Europe. The few European knights who did travel to Jerusalem did not even see any combat, since the truce with Saladin had been re-established. She was supported by, among others, Manasses of Hierges, who essentially governed for her as constable; her son Amalric, whom she set up as Count of Jaffa; Philip of Milly; and the Ibelin family. It was hoped that by allying with a relative of the western emperor, Frederick would come to the kingdom's aid. The inexperienced Guy led the Frankish army against Saladin's incursions into the kingdom, but neither side made any real gains, and Guy was criticized by his opponents for not striking against Saladin when he had the chance. Henry, Amalric, Otton, and Jean escaped, as did a young Templar named Roger de Flor, but most of the other defenders did not, including the master of the Templars Guillaume de Beaujeu. Of the Saracens more than three hundred thousand were slain, as is well known even to this day. Much of the population, swollen with refugees fleeing Saladin's conquest of the surrounding territory, was allowed to flee to Tyre, Tripoli, or Egypt (whence they were sent back to Europe), but those who could not pay for their freedom were sold into slavery, and those who could were often robbed by Christians and Muslims alike on their way into exile. Meanwhile, Baldwin IV's stepmother Maria, mother of Isabella and stepmother of Sibylla, married Balian of Ibelin. As in Europe the nobles had vassals and were themselves vassals to the king. David is an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Here are five things to know. [28], Fulk was an experienced crusader and had brought military support to the kingdom during a pilgrimage in 1120. Almost as soon as Jerusalem had been captured, and continuing throughout the 12th century, many pilgrims arrived and left accounts of the new kingdom; among them are the English Swulf, the Kievan Abbot Daniel, the Frank Fretellus, the Byzantine Johannes Phocas, and the Germans John of Wrzburg and Theoderich. [54], Hugh III of Burgundy was expected to come to Jerusalem and marry Sibylla, but Hugh was unable to leave France due to the political unrest there in 11791180 following the death of Louis VII. Melisende continued to rule as regent long after Baldwin came of age. For criminal matters non-Latins were to be tried in the Cour des Bourgeois (or even the Haute Cour if the crime was sufficiently severe). Theobald, however, was frustrated by the Lombard War, and returned home in September 1240. [63], Meanwhile, the succession crisis had prompted a mission to the west to seek assistance. He argues that eastern Christians probably felt closer ties to their fellow Christian crusaders than Muslim Arabs. 296.). [9], The First Crusade was preached at the Council of Clermont in 1095 by Pope Urban II, with the goal of assisting the Byzantine Empire against the invasions of the "Turks and Arabs" and "to destroy this vile race from the lands of our friends. [86], Although the kingdom had essentially been restored, the Lombard War continued to occupy the kingdom's nobility. The vast majority of the Crusaders who established and settled the Kingdom of Jerusalem were from the Kingdom of France, as were the knights and soldiers who made up the bulk of the steady flow of reinforcements throughout the two-hundred-year span of its existence; its rulers and elite were therefore predominantly French. John defeated them, and afterwards gave up the bailliage to his cousin John of Arsuf. Mercenaries could be fellow European crusaders, or, perhaps more often, Muslim soldiers, including the famous Turcopoles. The major cities featured baths, interior plumbing, and other advanced hygienic tools which were lacking in most other cities and towns throughout the world. Since Raymond was his nearest relative in the male line with a strong claim to the throne, there was concern about the extent of his ambitions, although he had no direct heirs of his own. 16. In 1200 Al-Adil proclaimed himself Sultan of Egypt and Syria, entrusting Damascus to al-Mu'azzam and al-Jazira to another son, al-Kamil. Steven Runciman, "The Crusader States, 1243-1291", in History of the Crusades, vol. [102], Into this mixed society the crusaders adapted existing institutions and introduced their familiar customs from Europe. Allied with az-Zahir, he then attacked his uncle in Damascus. From the Muslim perspective, a chief source of information is Usamah ibn Munqidh, a soldier and frequent ambassador from Damascus to Jerusalem and Egypt, whose memoirs, Kitab al i'tibar, include lively accounts of crusader society in the east. [76] Maria died in childbirth in 1212, and John of Brienne continued to rule as regent for their daughter Isabella II. ", harvnb error: no target: CITEREFVerlinben1970 (, Hans E. Mayer, "Guillaume de Tyr l'cole", in. Up and Down History Jews first arrived in the British Isles following the Norman Conquest of 1066. [112] Jerusalemite William of Tyre complained about a trend to hire Jewish or Muslim medical practitioners over their Latin and Frankish counterparts. Dawud took advantage of the Ayyubid victory to recapture Jerusalem in December, the ten-year truce having expired. According to William of Tyre, "barely three hundred knights and two thousand foot soldiers could be found" in the kingdom in 1100 during Godfrey's siege of Arsuf. The new king, Henry of Champagne, died accidentally in 1197, and Isabella married for a fourth time, to Aimery of Lusignan, Guy's brother. [89], In 1256 the commercial rivalry between the Venetian and Genoese merchant colonies broke out into open warfare. As the kingdom was by now a relatively unimportant state, the Mongols paid little attention to it, but there were a few skirmishes in 1260: the forces of Julian of Sidon killed the nephew of Kitbuqa, who responded by sacking Sidon, and John II of Beirut was also captured by the Mongols during another raid. Tributes are pouring in for legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, who died on Monday at the age of 84. Though likely overstated, the accounts of Usamah Ibn-Munqidh of Shaizar's travels through Antioch and Jerusalem described a level of aristocratic exchange elevated above ethnic prejudice. Theobald concluded a treaty with Isma'il, in return for territorial concessions that restored Jerusalem to Christian control, as well as much of the rest of the former kingdom, even more territory than Frederick had recovered in 1229. [20] Godfrey did indeed increase the boundaries of the kingdom, by capturing Jaffa, Haifa, Tiberias, and other cities, and reducing many others to tributary status. Raymond and his supporters went to Nablus, presumably in an attempt to prevent Sibylla from claiming the throne, but Sibylla and her supporters went to Jerusalem, where it was decided that the kingdom should pass to her, on the condition that her marriage to Guy be annulled. If the population was actually counted, William did not record the number. The Royal Family: Created by Greg Antonacci, Eddie Murphy. In 1196, al-Afdal was driven out of Damascus by al Adil in alliance with Uthman. The crusaders and their descendants often learned to speak Greek, Arabic, and other eastern languages, and intermarried with the native Christians (whether Greek, Syriac, or Armenian) and sometimes with converted Muslims. Hugh was technically regent of Jerusalem as well, both for Conrad and for Conrad's son Conradin after Conrad died in 1254. The council decided to refortify Ascalon in the south and attack Damascus in the north. Because the nobles tended to live in Jerusalem rather than on estates in the countryside, they had a larger influence on the king than they would have had in Europe. Ayyub confirmed Isma'il's concessions in 1241, and prisoners taken at Gaza were exchanged by both sides. It is impossible to give an accurate estimate of the population of the kingdom. [108], 21st century positions on the question of cultural integration or cultural apartheid remain divergent. The re-established state is commonly known as the "Second Kingdom of Jerusalem" or alternatively as the "Kingdom of Acre" after its new capital city. 23, pp. When Uthman died in 1198, al Afdal returned to power as regent in Egypt for Uthman's infant son.

At Limassol, Frederick demanded that John give up not only the regency of Cyprus, but also John's own lordship of Beirut on the mainland. The Venetians and Templars supported the claim, and Balian was powerless to oppose him. She appointed, as bailli, her husband Henry of Antioch (who was also Plaisance's uncle), but died in 1264. Marshall W. Baldwin, "The Decline and Fall of Jerusalem, 11741189", in, Peter W. Edbury, "Propaganda and faction in the Kingdom of Jerusalem: the background to Hattin", in. His sons al-Adil abu Bakr and as-Salih Ayyub inherited Egypt and Damascus. [87], A new crusade was discussed at the Council of Lyon in 1245 by Pope Innocent IV. 19, ch. At best, it included only a few other significant cities, such as Ascalon and some interior fortresses, as well as suzerainty over Tripoli and Antioch. Then in 1277, Maria of Antioch sold her claim to the kingdom to Charles of Anjou, who sent Roger of San Severino to represent him. [90], It was during this period that the Mongols arrived in the Near East. The new kingdom, and Godfrey's reputation, was secured with the defeat of the Fatimid Egyptian army under al-Afdal Shahanshah at the Battle of Ascalon one month after the conquest, on August 12, but Raymond and Godfrey's continued antagonism prevented the crusaders from taking control of Ascalon itself. 16, ch. Greeks, Syriacs, and Jews continued to live as they had before, subject to their own laws and courts, with their former Muslim overlords simply replaced by the crusaders; Muslims now joined them at the lowest level of society. John died in 1236 and the war was taken up by his son Balian of Beirut and his nephew Philip of Montfort.[85]. The king was recognised as head of the Haute Cour, although he was legally only primus inter pares. As the Templars and Hospitallers supported opposite sides, they also attacked each other, and the Templars broke the treaty with the Ayyubids by attacking Nablus in 1241. Then look no further than Royal Hotel, a hotel that brings the best of Jerusalem to your doorstep. [79], In the spring of 1218 the Fifth Crusade began in earnest when German crusader fleets landed at Acre. [62], In October 1184, Guy of Lusignan led an attack on the Bedouin nomads from his base in Ascalon. Heritage, after all, implies inheritance. The influence of Jerusalem was further extended over Edessa and Antioch, where Baldwin II acted as regent when their own leaders were killed in battle, although there were regency governments in Jerusalem as well during Baldwin's captivity. [110] Evidence of inter-cultural integration remains scarce, but evidence of inter-cultural cooperation and complex social interaction proves more common. The term imperial family appropriately describes the family of an emperor or empress, and the term papal family describes the family of a pope, while the terms baronial family, comital family, ducal family, archducal family, grand ducal family, or princely . Benjamin of Tudela estimated the total Jewish population of 14 cities in the kingdom to be 1,200, making the Samaritan population of the time larger than the Jewish, perhaps for the only time in history. He bigamously married Adelaide del Vasto, regent of Sicily, in 1113, but was convinced to divorce her as well in 1117; Adelaide's son from her first marriage, Roger II of Sicily, never forgave Jerusalem, and for decades withheld much-needed Sicilian naval support. The king and the royal court were normally located in Jerusalem, but due to the prohibition on Muslim inhabitants, the capital was small and underpopulated. In Jerusalem, the royal family lived firstly on the Temple Mount, before the foundation of the Knights Templar, and later in the palace complex surrounding the Tower of David; there was another palace complex in Acre. When Conradin was executed in Sicily in 1268, there was no other Hohenstaufen heir to succeed him, and Hugh III inherited the Kingdom of Jerusalem as well in 1269. People could be slaves by birth, enslaved by being captured in a raid, or as a penalty for debt or for helping a runaway slave. Roger returned to Europe after the Sicilian Vespers in 1282, and was replaced by Odo Poilechien. Following the Third Crusade, it was re-established in Acre in 1192. Gordon Lightfood dead at 84. As a relatively minor kingdom, it received little financial or military support from Europe; despite numerous small expeditions, Europeans generally proved unwilling to undertake an expensive journey to the east for an apparently losing cause. [46] Although the events were clearly a dynastic struggle, "the division was not between native barons and newcomers from the West, but between the king's maternal and paternal kin. War broke out between the Venetians and Genoese again in 1287, and Tripoli fell to Qalawun in 1289. Sugar cane had been introduced in Palestine by the Arabs. [98] In the mid-20th century, scholars such as Joshua Prawer, R. C. Smail, Meron Benvenisti, and Claude Cahen argued instead that the crusaders lived totally segregated from the native inhabitants, who were thoroughly Arabicized and/or Islamicized and were a constant threat to the foreign crusaders. Baibars was free to continue his campaigns: in 1270 he had the Assassins kill Philip of Montfort, and in 1271 he captured the Hospitaller and Teutonic Knights strongholds of Krak des Chevaliers and Montfort Castle.

Its history is divided into two periods with a brief interruption in its existence, beginning with its collapse after the siege of Jerusalem in 1187 and its restoration after the Third Crusade in 1192. The naval battle was won by Venice, and the Genoese were forced to abandon their quarter and flee to Tyre with Philip. It was also claimed by Otto von Habsburg as Habsburg pretender until 1958, and by the kings of Italy until 1946. The Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem consecrated the oil at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre earlier this year. When Patriarch Amalric died on 6 October 1180, the two most obvious choices for his successor were William of Tyre and Heraclius of Caesarea. 1, bk. Although Ayyub was Dawud's prisoner, the two now allied against al-Adil in Egypt, which Ayyub seized in 1240. The victory was short-lived, however, as the crusaders were then defeated by the Egyptian army at Gaza in November 1239. However, the Byzantine fleet sailed with enough provisions for only three months. [11], Egypt and much of Palestine were controlled by the Arab Shi'ite Fatimid Caliphate, which had extended further into Syria before the arrival of the Seljuks. [130], There were other, lesser courts for non-nobles and non-Latins; the Cour des Bourgeois provided justice for non-noble Latins, dealing with minor criminal offences such as assault and theft, and provided rules for disputes between non-Latins, who had fewer legal rights. The kings of Cyprus for many decades hatched plans to regain the Holy Land, but without success. Neither side could make any headway, and in 1234 Gregory IX excommunicated John and his supporters. [82], John did accompany Frederick to the mainland, but Frederick was not well-received there; one of his few supporters was Balian, Lord of Sidon, who had welcomed the crusaders the year before and now acted as an ambassador to the Ayyubids. [88], In the midst of these events, Alice of Champagne had died in 1246 and had been replaced as regent by her son King Henry I of Cyprus, for whom John of Jaffa served as bailli in Acre. The crusaders were neither totally integrated with the native population, nor segregated in the cities away from the rural natives; rather they settled in both urban and rural areas; specifically, in areas traditionally inhabited by Eastern Christians. The Order of St John, formally known as The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, is a Royal Order of Chivalry first constituted as such by Royal Charter from Queen Victoria in 1888.

The text describes king Nebuchadnezzar's invasion of Jerusalem, including his capture and exile of king Jehoiachin. [107], In the cities, Muslims and Eastern Christians were free, although no Muslims were permitted to live in Jerusalem itself. Arab-Andalusian geographer and traveler Ibn Jubayr, who was hostile to the Franks, described the Muslims living under the Christian crusaders' Kingdom of Jerusalem in the late 12th-century: We left Tibnin by a road running past farms where Muslims live who do very well under the Franks-may Allah preserve us from such a temptation! In Christianity, the New Testament follows the line through Mary and Joseph to Jesus.. 16, pg. They imported many customs and institutions from their homelands in Europe, and there were close familial and political connections with the West throughout the kingdom's existence. With the fall of Antioch (1268), Tripoli (1289), and Acre (1291), those Christians unable to leave the cities were massacred or enslaved and the last traces of Christian rule in the Levant disappeared. 568-570.

Aside from Latin, the standard written language of medieval Europe, the populace of crusader Jerusalem communicated in vernacular forms of French and Italian; Greek, Armenian, and even Arabic were used by Frankish settlers. The Italian city-states made enormous profits from this trade, thanks to commercial treaties like the Pactum Warmundi, and it influenced their Renaissance in later centuries. On the mainland, Filangieri had the support of Bohemund IV of Antioch, the Teutonic Knights, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Pisan merchants. In 1441, control of the Kingdom of Naples was lost to Alfonso V of Aragon and the title thus was claimed by the kings of Spain, and after the War of the Spanish Succession both by the House of Bourbon and the House of Habsburg.

[60], In October 1183, Isabella married Humphrey of Toron at Kerak during a siege by Saladin, who perhaps hoped to take some valuable prisoners. The subsequent events have often been interpreted as a struggle between two opposing factions, the "court party", made up of Baldwin's mother, Amalric's first wife Agnes of Courtenay, her immediate family, and recent arrivals from Europe who were inexperienced in the affairs of the kingdom and who were in favour of war with Saladin; and the "noble party", led by Raymond of Tripoli and the lesser nobility of the kingdom, who favoured peaceful co-existence with the Muslims. Neither side could agree to terms, despite the Ayyubid offer of a thirty-year truce and the restoration of Jerusalem and most of the rest of the former kingdom. 2, bk. ), harvnb error: no target: CITEREFHolt1989 (, harvnb error: no target: CITEREFGil1997 (, The First Crusade is extensively documented in primary and secondary sources.

In June the Haute Cour granted the regency to Alice of Champagne, who, as the daughter of Isabella I, was Conrad's great-aunt and his closest relative living in the kingdom. [99] For this reason, the rural European society to which the crusaders were accustomed was replaced by a more secure urban society in the pre-existing cities of the Levant. [19], There was still some uncertainty about what to do with the new kingdom. There were also multiple ways to become chattel slaves. For more than a century, they prospered as moneylenders. Acre was defended by Henry II's brother Amalric of Tyre, the Hospitallers, Templars, and Teutonic Knights, the Venetians and Pisans, the French garrison led by Jean I de Grailly, and the English garrison led by Otton de Grandson, but they were vastly outnumbered. 76.

The Fatimids, under the nominal rule of caliph al-Musta'li but actually controlled by vizier al-Afdal Shahanshah, had lost Jerusalem to the Seljuks in 1073;[12] they recaptured it in 1098 from the Artuqids, a smaller Turkish tribe associated with the Seljuks, just before the arrival of the crusaders. With the Fall of Ruad in 1302, the Kingdom of Jerusalem lost its final outpost on the Levantine coast, its possession closest to the Holy Land now being Cyprus. Likewise, citizens of the Italian city-states owed nothing as they lived in autonomous quarters in the port cities. One example is the first-century Tomb of the Kings, the burial place of the queen of Adiabene and her son. Saladin attacked Kerak again in April, and in May, a Muslim raiding party ran into the much smaller embassy on its way to negotiate with Raymond, and defeated it at the Battle of Cresson near Nazareth. By this time, the Mamluks under Baibars were taking advantage of the kingdom's constant disputes, and began conquering the remaining crusader cities along the coast. After meeting in Acre in June, the crusading kings Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany agreed with Melisende, Baldwin III and the major nobles of the kingdom to attack Damascus. John of Arsuf, John of Jaffa, John II of Beirut, the Templars, and the Teutonic Knights supported the Venetians, who also convinced the Pisans to join them, while the Hospitallers supported the Genoese. Jordan's king sends tough message on dissent in royal family. The crusaders accounted for 1525% of the total population.

A 1911 map showing the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the other Crusader states. In the countryside, wheat, barley, legumes, olives, grapes, and dates were grown. The sultan easily defeated the trapped crusader army and regained Damietta. King Baldwin was so incapacitated by his leprosy that it was necessary to appoint a regent, and Guy of Lusignan was chosen, as he was Baldwin's legal heir and the king was not expected to live. Warfare between the Fatimids and Seljuks caused great disruption for the local Christians and for western pilgrims. During the height of the kingdom in the mid-12th century there was a royal family and a relatively clear line of succession. (William of Tyre, vol. It lasted for almost two hundred years, from the accession of Godfrey of Bouillon in 1099 until the siege of Acre in 1291. For the next hundred years, the Kingdom of Jerusalem remained as a tiny kingdom hugging the Syrian coastline. [115] Contemporary chronicler William of Tyre recorded the census of 1183, which was intended to determine the number of men available to defend against an invasion, and to determine the amount of tax money that could be obtained from the inhabitants, Muslim or Christian. 9, ch. The arrival of the crusade was a brief respite from the Lombard War; Filangieri remained in Tyre and did not participate. The defeat of the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 612 BC at the Battle of Nineveh by the Neo-Babylonian Empire caused upheavals that led to the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah. Louis arrived in Cyprus in 1248, where he gathered an army of his own men, including his brothers Robert of Artois, Charles of Anjou, and Alphonse of Poitiers, and those of Cyprus and Jerusalem, led by the Ibelin family John of Jaffa, Guy of Ibelin, and Balian of Beirut. Runciman, "The Crusader States, 1243-1291", pp. Special courts such as the Cour de la Fond (for commercial disputes in the markets) and the Cour de la Mer (an admiralty court) existed in the coastal cities. It set on the march in 608 BC, moving through Judah. [68], When Richard arrived in 1191, he and Philip took different sides in the succession dispute. He was succeeded briefly by his son John II, who died soon after in 1285, and was succeeded by his brother, Hugh III's other son Henry II. [55] Internationally, the Lusignans were useful as vassals of Baldwin and Sibylla's cousin Henry II of England. His son Solomon expanded the empire that David built. [51] After William of Montferrat arrived in 1176, he fell ill and died in June 1177, leaving Sibylla widowed and pregnant with the future Baldwin V. Raynald was then named regent. John was supported by his nobles on Cyprus, and by his continental holdings in Beirut, Caesarea, and Arsuf, as well as by the Knights Templar and the Genoese. The regulations imposed on them are the handing over of half of the grain crop at the time of harvest and the payment of a poll tax of one dinar and seven qirats, together with a light duty on their fruit trees. This is the way the farms and big villages are organized in Frankish territory. The urban composition of the area, combined with the presence of the Italian merchants, led to the development of an economy that was much more commercial than it was agricultural. By the time that the crusaders were ready supplies were already running out and the fleet retired. They especially cultivated Sugar for export to Europe. The few European knights who did travel to Jerusalem did not even see any combat, since the truce with Saladin had been re-established. She was supported by, among others, Manasses of Hierges, who essentially governed for her as constable; her son Amalric, whom she set up as Count of Jaffa; Philip of Milly; and the Ibelin family. It was hoped that by allying with a relative of the western emperor, Frederick would come to the kingdom's aid. The inexperienced Guy led the Frankish army against Saladin's incursions into the kingdom, but neither side made any real gains, and Guy was criticized by his opponents for not striking against Saladin when he had the chance. Henry, Amalric, Otton, and Jean escaped, as did a young Templar named Roger de Flor, but most of the other defenders did not, including the master of the Templars Guillaume de Beaujeu. Of the Saracens more than three hundred thousand were slain, as is well known even to this day.
