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
