jul 2, 1187 - Raymond advised caution: avoid confrontation w/ large force even if fall of Tiberias w/ his wife inside. S’s force would dissolve over time --> could recapture Galilee Reynald & Gerard advised: ignore traitor Raymond + advice = cowardly. Move to relieve Tiberias. Main factor in decision? Guy feared derision & demotion as in 1183. Raymond of Tripoli in vanguard, Templars in rear, infantry screening cavalry. Guy’s aim: reach Tiberias or Galilean sea
