- CS 1149-87 Misfortunes/ Failure
- Political Instability
- Leper King B IV - no succession= Isabella v Sybelle
- Sybelle wins with unpopular husband Guy (regent for BIV until 1183)
- BV child king - 1185 - Raymond of Tripoli regent but limited power
- Castles handed to military orders
- Not relevant until 1180's - important but very uneven period - not important for majority of period
- Leper King B IV - no succession= Isabella v Sybelle
- Leadership
- Amalric 5 Egypt Campaigns 1144-69 - good idea poorly executed
- BIV + Guy Campaign 1182/3 -Guy "shadowed" M army out of J - "supine"
- replaced as regent
- Guys poor leadership exacerbated political instability
- Military Orders
- influential and decisive - Battle of Hattin said to leave J and attack = wrong
- Loyal to Pope not King
- uneven - not bad until Guy
- Help / Resources
- help from West > bc 2nd Crusade
- 1150's failed attempt w/ Duke of Flanders
- 1184/5 Arch Bishop went to West for support is East - epic fail - dressed in Eastern clothing with gold and jewels = didn't look like needed help
- 5K men in J from Knight Service Survey 1185/6 - short on men and taxes
- Muslim Unity
- At highest when Political Instability at highest
- 1154 Nur-ad-Din takes Damascus and unified Syria = foothold to J
