Egyptian Wars (1163-71)
Participants:
- King Amalric of Jerusalem
- Shirkuh, Nur ad-Din's second in command
- Shawar Vizier of Egypt

Nur ad-Din could not allow Franks to gain fertile land and the riches/ man power
Egypt was weak, had to ally with either Muslims or Franks or they would have lost all land etc anyway.
Events:
1) Amalric attacked Egypt but had no man power to succeed so he had to retreat back to Jerusalem.
2) Egypt is weak, Vizier…
