They had a big fight over it, because the HNIC in Jerusalem was opposed to fighting in the desert in July. There was legit mutiny in the ranks led by some French (I think) dood who thought there was no time to wait for the weather to cool off, and he was the one who lost it all. He lost a piece of the true cross and some other holy relics in that battle, and maybe even the Holy Grail itself. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5603332&forum_id=2#48143516) |

Gerard de Ridefort however advised Guy to advance against Saladin, and Guy took his advice. Norman Housley suggests that that was because "the minds of both men had been so poisoned by the political conflict 1180-1187 that they could only see Raymond's advice as designed to bring them personal ruin" and also because he had spent Henry II of England's donations in calling the army and was reluctant to disband it without a battle.[22] That was a gamble on Guy's part, as he had left only a few knights to defend the city of Jerusalem.[23] |
